What’s a Fropper?
A fropper is a freestanding acrylic decoration designed to sit at the front of your cake, rather than on top like traditional cake toppers. Made from high-quality, lightweight acrylic, froppers have no spike and are simply placed or gently secured against your cake—making them a fuss-free and eye-catching addition to your design.
They’re ideal for showcasing names, messages, numbers, or initials, and they work beautifully alongside a topper for that full front-and-centre wow factor.
Choosing the Perfect Fropper
Our froppers are available in over 60 colours, including vibrant solids, shimmering glitters, and glamorous mirrors—so whether your event calls for subtle elegance or bold birthday sparkle, you’ll find something to match.
Popular options include:
✔ Names in pink glitter for birthdays
✔ Initials in mirror acrylic for weddings
✔ Numbers or milestone words like “One” or “Fifty”
Every fropper is custom-made, so the creative freedom is all yours.
How to Attach Your Fropper
Depending on your cake's finish, there are a couple of ways to attach your fropper securely:
1. Buttercream Cakes
Buttercream acts as a natural adhesive. Simply press the fropper gently onto the front of your cake, and it will stay in place with minimal effort. No extra tools needed!
2. Fondant Cakes
For fondant-covered cakes, we recommend using baker’s paste—a simple mix of icing sugar and egg white. Apply a small amount to the back of the fropper, press it onto the fondant, and allow it to set for a few minutes. This creates a clean, strong hold without damaging the surface.
Want to Level Up? Pair a Fropper with a Cake Topper
Why stop at one element when you can have two? Combine a fropper at the front of your cake with a matching cake topper for the top. For example:
✨ A fropper with the birthday person's name
✨ A topper with their age or message like “Happy Birthday”
This layered look adds depth, dimension, and extra wow-factor—perfect for milestone birthdays, engagements, baby showers, and more.
