NOTICE: The burn away effect is provided as a DIY kit.

Make your celebration unforgettable with a personalized burn-away cake: perfect for reveals, engagements, or milestone announcements. Each cake conceals a hidden message beneath a thin edible layer that’s revealed when burned away, creating a dramatic, picture-perfect moment.

Important Notice for Burn Away Cake DIY Kit

Our burn away cake option is provided as a partial DIY finish. Because the edible wafer paper is highly sensitive to moisture and humidity, the topper must be placed on the cake shortly before serving. We include the printed burn away topper with a filled buttercream piping bag and tip, and simple instructions for easy placement.

Reveal Options
You may pick from a Month Calendar with date circled as the burn away top and your choice of Message as the reveal portion (Happy Birthday/Age/etc)

Or you may upload a high resolution "burn away" image (the one that burns) along with the remaining top image (the one that stays). Images must be high resolution for printing clearly.

We do not provided assistance with image design. If you need help please use our Custom Order contact form instead.
Instructions for lighting:

Light the burn away topper from the center, and it will burn outwards.
