Materials Needed
We used a Helix 60w:
Vector: Speed 25% // Power 100% // 500F
Step 1: Prepare Artwork
Download the graphics above and import it into your graphic software. Make adjustments as necessary.
Step 2: Send to the Laser
Send the job to the laser with the correct parameters for your machine wattage.
Step 3: 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!
