How do you clean a cake topper after the wedding?

Go from gentle to stronger. Most of the mess sits on the base, where it touched the frosting.

What you need: a plastic spatula or paper towel, cotton swabs and a soft cloth, a bowl of lukewarm water with a drop of mild dish soap, and a clean, dry towel.

Step by step:
1. Take it off before the top tier is boxed or frozen. Hold it by the base, not the figure.
2. Lay it on a paper towel and slide a plastic spatula along the base to lift the frosting away.
3. Dab or roll a damp, squeezed-out swab over the base. Do not scrub. Try the underside first.
4. Let it air dry fully on a towel, out of direct sun, before it goes in a box.

What to avoid: pressing on thin parts like hands or glasses, the dishwasher, scouring pads, acetone or nail polish remover, and soaking. Care guides for painted figures also list rubbing alcohol as one to avoid. Some painted toppers must not be washed at all, so follow the maker's care notes.

Afterwards, wrap it in tissue and keep it somewhere dry and cool. For dust, use a soft brush or a hand air blower, not canned air. Before it goes on an anniversary cake, check it for cracks and set it on a clear acrylic disc, since printed toppers are not food-safe.

Choosing and caring for a cake topper is the subject of more than 60 guides from Conjure Wedding (conjurewedding.com).
