by adding melted chocolate to fondant and a bit of tylose. My question is do you eat these toppers? or just remove them?
since I made mine way ahead of time, will they be okay?

I like to make my discs out of 1/2 modelling chocolate, 1/2 fondant. The chocolate seems to make them more popular to eat.

usually people don't eat them but some are just into sugar a lot so they eat everything. But I think you would be fine

I make cupcake toppers strictly out of fondant and they usually get eaten.

Although I mixed my melted chocolate with fondant and basically made a chocolate fondant ! but I like your idea and will try it next time.

I was looking at the photo you provided for the red cupcake toppers. You were wondering if people would eat them... use the recipe for Velvet Red fondant, made out of RED ready-made frosting and red candy coating wafers. They'll taste fantastic - better than using any regular fondant. Here's the link to the recipe http://www.blossomedge.com/2012/01/12/velvet-red-fondant/
