Step Two: Send to the Laser

Send the job to the laser with the correct parameters for your machine wattage.

Step Three: Decoration

Paint or stain wooden cake toppers however you’d like. If you’d prefer a more natural look, you can skip this step. If you’re using colored or textured acrylic, there is no need for painting/staining. Once you’ve decorated the toppers to your liking, you’re all set. Just add them to your cakes and cupcakes and let the party begin!
