Hey party peeps!
I’m back with the “Trend Alert” where I share with you some of the hottest trends in party planning! Today’s post is all about the hot new trend — Fondant Letters! Whether you use them as an initial or get all the letters of your name, these fondant cake toppers are certaintly wow factors!
At the forefront of this trend is Edible Details who has made the most creative fondant letter toppers I’ve seen yet! When I styled my Cute as a Fox party this week, I knew just who to call to create a set of Woodland Animal Fondant Letters to match my printable collection. Displaying these can be tricky, so let me show you how I styled a full name set and then ideas for displaying only initial ones. CLICK HERE TO SEE THE FULL CUTE AS A FOX PARTY!
Display Fondant Letter Toppers on Mini Cakes!
For my Cute as a Fox party, I wanted to display the guest of honor’s name on mini cakes as a centerpiece display on the dessert table. Displaying fondant letter toppers on individual mini cakes works really well when you have a short name. Here I displayed each letter for the name JOEY on top of fondant mini cakes made by Fancy Cakes that matched the fondant letters perfectly! Display them side by side so that the name is easily readable. How cute is this?!
Display Fondant Letter Toppers on Cupcakes!
If your guest of honor has a long name, ordering a single letter initial may be the way to go. For individual letters, you can display them on top of a regular cake or you could display them on top of cupcakes if you are serving cupcakes at your party. The fondant topped cupcake is best displayed in the front or on top of your cupcake display so it becomes a focal point. Of course, it would also be the special cupcake just for the guest of honor. For wide letters, like this Mermaid themed M fondant letter, I placed it on top of two cupcakes side by side.

Those cakes are so gorgeous that I would almost feel guilty about eating them 🙂
I know right!
OMG, I love these!! My nephew would go crazy over these – they look so awesome I wouldn’t want to eat them.
Thanks Sherrie! They were really awesome.
Wow these are just too adorable! I can’t believe how cute the animals are!
Yup! Edible Details is just amazing. She created these animals to match my printable collection PERFECTLY!
Those are all amazing looking. The look like art, and I’d have to take a million pictures before taking a bite!
OH, I did! I actually keep the fondant toppers 😉
I wish I learned how to play with fondant when I was making birthday party cakes for the kids, these are adorable.
Me too, but I think I’ll leave this to the experts and I’ll just stick to styling these gorgeous masterpieces! LOL!
I’m absolutely loving the fondant letters! They are ideal for any type of party: birthday, baby shower, etc!
That’s what I love about them and Edible Details can custom create any letter to match any theme!
Well those are just the cutest thing EVER! I have a little one whose first birthday is coming up and these would be adorable for his first cake!
AWW! Happy birthday to your little one 😉
Fondant letters are such a cute trend! I love the fox party mini cakes.
The mini cakes by Fancy Cakes were just perfect platform for the toppers. She matched the printable collection perfectly too which I love!
Ok, I am totally saving this idea for my kiddos’ birthday parties this summer! So so cute!
Yay! They’ll love it!
These are such beautiful creations. I love them all, and cannot even chose a favorite.
I admit, my favorite is the raccoon!
These letters are GREAT! I have a niece with a birthday coming up, I am passing these on to my sister!
Great! I’m sure she will love it!
Wow that is amazing. So talented! I cannot believe this is edible and it’s food!
I know, they look like little works of art!
These are so amazing. Very creative and cutr.
Thanks Debbie
Those cakes are impressive… too beautiful to eat. I love the fondant letters idea… Perfect for a special celebration.
Thanks Eliz
Amazing cakes and I love the letters! I have got to take a cake making class!
It seems like it would be super fun!
Super cute. Looks like another thing I’ll have to start learning how to make – fondant letters.
They are the hot new trend!
I want to come to your house for the next party!
LOL!
Those are totally delightful. Not sure if I would want to eat them though, they just look too good to eat.
My daughter Riley has the fondant turtle that topped her cake last year still in her room as art! LOL!
I just couldn’t love these more. They are simply the cutest things and add the perfect touch!
Thank goodness the name JOEY is only 4 letters! Any more and I would have needed a bigger table!
This is too cute. I am going to have to try this for my sons birthday on the 23rd.
Be sure to check out the full party so you can get all the ideas. Happy Birthday to your son!
Those are adorable. I need to make something like this for my daughters cake this weekend.
Happy birthday to your daughter!
This is so sweet, so creative. I’ve always wanted to try fondant.
Fondant is so popular right now. You should go for it!
So so cute! I love the fondant letters! That cake is amazing! Fondant looks so great, but it’s just too sweet for me to actually eat it!
Looks amazing! I don’t like the taste of fondant much either which is why for kids parties I always serve cupcakes too 😉
Oh man, those are too pretty to eat. Right? Right?? 😉
Yup! My daughter has the fondant turtle topper from her party last year displayed in her room as art. She couldn’t imaging actually EATING it!
What adorable cakes! They look too good to eat!
Thanks Taralyn
