cake picks

Cake picks and toppers are commonly made from sturdy cardstock or paper cutouts mounted on wooden toothpicks, and many kits also use clear plastic picks or sticks.

Cutout heights vary from fractions of an inch up to a few inches (examples include about 0.25" and 0.63", and some taller cutouts around 3.15"–3.5"). Common stick lengths shown are roughly 3.5" for standard picks and about 7" for longer sticks.

Sets often include a mix of mounting options: small wooden toothpicks attached to cardstock, clear plastic treat picks about 3.5" tall, and in some kits longer clear plastic sticks of about 7" for added height.

Wrappers are described as adjustable; listed height is 1.75" tall, and some listings say they fit cupcakes about 1.75"–2.5" wide.

Many listings advise discarding picks and paper components after use; wrappers are described as one-time-use and are noted not to be baked.

Some toppers use a printed glitter finish (marketed as a “No-Mess Glitter Print”) that gives a sparkle look without loose glitter flakes.

Many toppers and cutouts are printed on sturdy or heavy-duty cardstock, with several listings noting professional double-sided printing on cardstock paper.
