Many cupcake fillers use iridescent or shiny paper shreds and some have crimped or textured cuts. These finishes add color, sparkle and a soft cushioning layer for packaging and displays.
Reviewers commonly praise the color, iridescence and overall decorative appearance. Some also note the material feels sturdy and that the shreds help 'fluff up' packaging and add sparkle.
Paper shreds are sold in small sealed bags (commonly 1.5 oz) ready to drop into favor bags or displays. Sugar/gumpaste flowers are sold as sets, often individually wrapped and listed as ready to use.
