Why We Like This Product – Reviewed by the YPC Team
At our activity centre at YPC, we host loads of themed events – and Halloween is one of our favourites! We tested these sugar toppers on our traybakes and cupcakes at the family day, and they were a hit. The ghosts look cheeky (not too scary), and the printed orange buttons added a real pop of colour to our dessert tables.
We loved how easy they were to use. No fuss, no need for edible ink pens or piping bags – just top your cupcakes and go.

Buyer’s Guide:
If you’re short on time but still want your Halloween party bakes to look amazing, these sugar decorations are a great pick. They work well for all ages, and you don’t need to be a pro baker to use them. Want something spookier? Go for eyeball toppers. Want something fancier? Try fondant figures. But for quick, crowd-pleasing cupcake decorations – these are a winner.
We love Halloween so much that we have themed our kids' party rooms at our Outdoor Activity Park. Our favourite room is our "Walking Dead" themed Zombie Party Room.
But we also run events as well as sell Halloween products.
Why not try our "Zombie Uprising " event? You play the part of a special forces operative with missions to save the world from a Zombie Horde, but with real actors running around the map, dressed as Zombies, they will do all they can to stop you.
