Fake Whipped Cream Mug Topper Tutorial / How To Make Faux Whip Cream / DIY Rae Dunn Mug Toppers

So with mug displays and hot cocoa bars in full swing right now, I thought it was the perfect time to make these faux whipped cream mug toppers to go on some of my Christmas mugs on my hot cocoa bar in my kitchen. I also have several tiered displays that they'll look adorable on, so will definitely be making more for sure! Using some lightweight sparkling and a frosting tip, I was able to make some pretty adorable ( fake ) whip cream mug toppers. Added some fake sprinkles to decorate them with and voila!

You can put the white in the bag and put you tip on it from the outside. That way you can change your tips. This is a great idea! You do a great job.

[@Stephanie__H]

So happy to have found this tutorial! Easy , simple to follow. You just saved me 50plus dollars buying whipped toppers online😊 can't wait to try this out!

[@reginajasso8979]

Thank you for sharing your talent with us! I am obsessed ❤

[@shannonwelch4014]

Thanks for the tips and advice. Love your gnome items!

[@katrinacraig6650]

Thank you! You made that look so easy that I will be trying it next week. 😊

[@dorabecerra6235]

Love them! Would add straw before whip cream 😊

[@carriehardrick3346]

Omg im so glad I came across your video. The Styrofoam idea is brilliant !

[@kathywolfe6079]

Love this!!!!

[@robynwayland9648]

I love the styrofoam ball method, Thanks doing a few mugs and stuff for gifts

[@CreativelyErica]

Thanks for watching! 🥰

[@GAKing-re9jo]

Very very helpful by the way!

[@chasitytaylor8858]

I love the green and red sprinkled one. It really sets the scene for a hot cocoa bar.😊♥️

[@CreativelyErica]

Right!?!? Thanks for watching Chasity 😘

[@patriciarichardson6952]

How do you get them to stay in the cups? They look like they could fall off.

[@londonhamilton9633]

To keep the sprinkles from falling off, maybe use the Mod Podge sealer spray? I have not tried it, but just wondering if that might work 😊

[@crystaldeanna1820]

Nice video. I've done this before, but always look for how someone may do something different. Thanks.

[@SamFam_]

Do you seal it? It seems like it would break easily

[@sherrygrooms3248]

Absolutely love the video. I sometimes have a problem with my lightweight spackling being to soft like when I apply it to my form it looks like it’s melting. Is there anything I can add to make it stiffer. Thank you . ❤

[@brittanigerber9521]

Will the large styrofoam balls work for rae dunn mugs?

[@Tarni64]

How do you make it so the sprinkles don't fall off everywhere? I have some that even a year later, with set spackle, the sprinkles fall off, they never quite set into the spackle. This is a great tutorial though! I have been making mine with card stock cones in the center, instead of styrofoam balls, and I definitely like the fuller look with the ball underneath :) Thank you for the tip!

[@antoniettacampanaro2876]

So cute! I like the way you make it with the styrofoam ball, it gives it more stability and use less speckling. Do you just place them on the cups or can you glue them on also? Thank you 😊

[@CreativelyErica]

Thanks so much! I just place mine on the mugs because I use the mugs a lot but you could totally glue them down with hot glue if you're just displaying as decoration. Great idea!

[@antoniettacampanaro2876]

Thank you for getting back to me 😍

[@kellytorres529]

These are so nice, thank you for sharing, obviously, I'm a newbie, so this is probably a stupid question, but, do you glue the topper to the mug when it's done, or just lay it on there?

[@grazie0316]

Thank you! I am trying to make an artificial cupcake May i ask when it dries can i still put a cupcake topper on it - like i can insert a toothpick on it?

[@rebeccahumphreys4155]

Do you glue them to the cups?

[@rebeccadrakerd]

Would the spakling stick to a bauble that i found that fits inside my mug.? I dont have foam balls big enough

[@kelseyventro6928]

How do you keep the sprinkles from falling off? I can’t seem to get them to stay on.

[@pressedimaging]

When I did this the spackle started coming apart and it never harden. Soooo what did I do wrong???

[@thepinupgirl]

When I put the spackling in it wouldn't pipe out no matter how hard i squeezed. I watered it down a little and I still wouldn't come through. By the time I watered it down enough to come out it was too watery to hold shape. Do you know what I'm doing wrong?

[@stephi586]

Mix a tiny bit of white acrylic paint with it or make sure you’re using a big enough tip. The light weight spackling alone comes out pretty easy without anything you have to make sure it’s light weight not just spackling

[@ReptileGeek1]

To make epoxy thicker to create drips mix corn starch into the epoxy a lil bit at a time u til you reach the thickness you want it

[@CreativelyErica]

Great idea! Thanks so much for sharing!!

[@samarasoles2463]

Would it be affected by clear acrylic spray to seal it?

[@FlyingMonkeyPoop]

How durable is the plaster? I’m trying to find the right product to place over a bustier for a Halloween costume. Trying to make it look like a whipped cream top. But since it’ll be on fabric I wouldn’t want it to crumble apart. Do you think this would work? Or would you recommend something else?

[@CreativelyErica]

So it is delicate but doesn't really crumble, kind of has a foam feel to it. I think if you sealed over it or maybe clear coat it, it would be more durable.

[@mirnaschiller6949]

Please give me the size of the balls you used. Thank you

[@7Jasmine8]

do you use it to keep the coffee warm?

[@CreativelyErica]

No, just decoration. I display my cute mugs on my coffee bar or tiered trays so I just set those on top to make them even cuter ☺️

[@Stonerella07]

A few questions, how would this do under epoxy?

[@marikiemarie7622]

Don't use with epoxy

[@mackenzieregister6649]

I just wanted to comment on your most recent video, but I’ve gotten everything to make car freshies but my aroma beads still smell faintly like glue/vinegar after a week and a half of airing them out, is there something I should do or can I start using fragrance oil on them? I’m so scared because I don’t want to waste product 😬

[@CreativelyErica]

Do you have the beads in a container to air out? I keep mine in a large wide container so they air out a little faster. Past that, there's not a whole lot you can do other then wait haha. But definitely don't wanna be impatient and try to fragrance them before they've aired out completely otherwise you will waste product.

[@mackenzieregister6649]

@@CreativelyErica Thank you! Yes i’ve been airing them out in a container I guess they’ll just take a while longer than I expected :(

[@GAKing-re9jo]

How do you affix to the mug when the topping is done so it doesn't move and is permanent?

[@marikiemarie7622]

Why would you want it permanent? You can use the cup. If you do want it there to stay then use glue..lol like e6000 or hot glue.

[@jamiea7478]

I have problems with the piping, just doesnt flow the way yours does.I've tried so many times, what am I doing wrong???

[@ashleymarie7921]

Same I can’t even get it to flow or hardly come thru…

[@lilianabeltran9811]

Is this safe to let spackle touch your mug rim?

[@CreativelyErica]

Idk, I just use it for decor in my tiered displays & on my coffee bar. If I were to use this mug to drink out of, I'd just remove the topper and handwash the mug before using.

[@moimoi4958]

Cedt quoi cette matière blanche svp

[@TheKylesrandomboysplayz]

How do you keep it from chipping once it dries? I think this would be a cool Christmas gift but I am afraid to mail it worrying it may chip off or something like that

[@CreativelyErica]

So they can chip but it does have a slight spongey texture which makes them a little durable. But I just wrap mine up just like I would with glass Christmas ornaments and haven't had them chip yet.

[@stephi586]

I’m curious how you get the spackling to keep it’s shape? While doing it, it comes out beautiful. While drying it falls completely flat can’t even tell I used the damn icing tip lol. Anything to help there?

[@Syko5150]

​@@stephi586 are you using the light weight spackle? It has to be lightweight or the spackle does settle and it flattens out

[@nikiigreen]

Decoden artists often use 100% silicone (also available at hardware stores) for fake whip because it's usually pretty resilient. If you decide to use it, you might want to research which pigments/paints you'd prefer to use since some paints react with the silicone and dry it out while you're working.

[@jessicayocum3430]

When shipping breakables i myself think that wrapping in paper or bubblewrap and then saran wrap and a bit more cushion works magically that plastic wrap does something different in there

[@Lionessak]

You didn’t show how to make the chocolate drizzled mug topper… I was waiting for that one…😢
