Decorate, Delight and Celebrate: Cake Decorating Supplies for Every Party Style

From classic birthday cakes to themed dessert tables, cake decorating is where creativity meets celebration. This category brings together everything you need to turn ideas into eye-catching bakes, including candles, toppers, edible extras and reliable tools for every skill level. Style a first birthday, build a cupcake tower for teens or finish a milestone cake with confidence.

Start with the essentials

Light the moment with candles & cake décor that match your theme.

• Foil number candles for ages 1 to 100
• Pastel and rainbow mixes for kids’ parties
• Glitter shapes and slim tapers for elegant finishes
• Coordinated candle and topper sets for fast styling

Add a hero topper to set the tone. Choose light-up toppers, acrylic script signs or mini themed picks—then repeat the motif on cupcakes to create rhythm across the dessert table.

Edible decorations that add instant impact

Lift flavour and texture with edible accents, including lollies & candy to match your palette, lolly jars for tidy scooping, and lolly bags & boxes for take-home treats. Sprinkle blends, printed wafer toppers, chocolate shards and fondant lettering make personalisation simple.

Mini dessert cups for layered tables

Add depth with mousse, jelly, cheesecake and trifles served in clear cups or themed containers. Pre-chill, pipe for neat layers, and finish with a single berry or chocolate curl for a photo-ready top. For backdrops behind your dessert bar, consider clean lines with party backdrops and a few coordinating balloons like latex and confetti balloons.

Tools that make decorating easier

Build a kit that works as hard as you do—tins, smoothers, scrapers and boards. New to decorating? Start simple, then scale with specialty tips and an icing comb. For trusted brands and accessories, browse Wilton essentials. Planning by aesthetic? Explore theme parties or specific birthday party themes to keep your colours consistent.

Finishing touches that guests remember

Round out your table with extras that double as décor—foil-wrapped sweets, centrepiece jars and labels. Tie your cake moment into the rest of the room with on-theme ranges like Barbie, Fairy, or Unicorn, and coordinate the main table with baby shower decorations when celebrating new arrivals.

Ready-to-go cake decoration kits

Short on time? Choose bundled kits that combine candles, toppers, edible extras and matching dessert accessories. They pair neatly with your backdrop and balloon markers and keep styling consistent across the room.

Sizing, quantities and quick conversions

• Common cake sizes: 6 inch ≈ 15 cm, 8 inch ≈ 20 cm, 10 inch ≈ 25 cm, 12 inch ≈ 30 cm
• A 20 cm cake suits a 12–14 cm topper; a 25 cm cake suits a 14–18 cm topper
• Cupcake liners are usually 5–6 cm; a two-tablespoon scoop fills to two-thirds

Photo and placement tips

Place the cake at least 20 cm from the backdrop for softer shadows. Angle mirrored toppers slightly toward the light to avoid glare. For tall cakes, frame with a compact bouquet or a small fan cluster—no need for a full arch.

Outdoor and venue-friendly advice

Choose thicker candles and sturdy toppers for breezy patios. Keep chocolate and cream shaded. Use non-slip dots under boards and confirm venue rules for adhesives and confetti. Add subtle markers with coordinated balloons and keep spares handy with balloon accessories.

Care and reuse

Wipe acrylic and wooden toppers with a soft cloth, hand-wash non-stick tins and store tips together so numbers stay organised. Keep packaging handy for safe storage between events.

Build your dessert table in three easy steps

1. Pick the palette: Two hero colours and one accent that repeat across tableware, balloons and sprinkles.
2. Choose the hero: A statement topper or number candle on the main cake; cupcakes echo the look.
3. Finish with texture: Add a sprinkle border, a few chocolate shards and one height element such as a wafer disc or macaron stack.
