Wedding Cake Toppers |
The wedding cake is often a showpiece of the wedding reception – receiving many oohs and aahs during the ceremonious cutting of the cake. What makes it so special? Not only the intricate designs of each layer, but also what tops the cake. Wondering what to top your cake with? We found many local area professionals that offer a wide array of cake toppers! |

Fresh Flowers or Sugar Flowers: a beautiful topping that will compliment your wedding décor. Have your wedding florist create a bouquet of flowers that matches the circumference of your top tier; or your baker can create real life looking flowers out of sugar! Yum!

Bride & Groom Figurines: cake figurines were quite the standard when many of our parents got married but then fizzled out when fresh flowers and other toppers hit the tops of cakes. This ‘old’ trend is making quite a comeback! With many customized and sold individually, you can easily mix and match cake toppers – select from color of hair, ethnicity, gender, etc. Figurines come in different positions, too – select figurines that are dancing, holding a symbol of their favorite past time, feeding each other cake, etc.

Comical Cake Tops: quite a popular trend these days. Add a bit of character to your wedding cake with a funny topper. From a bride dragging the groom down the aisle to a groom fishing or bride holding a frog, these fun toppers can be a hit at your reception!

Monogram or Initials: another popular trend, is the merging of your first name initial with his first and last name initial – creating your monogram. Or consider just a large single initial of your new married name. From scripty letters with rhinestones or Swarvoski crystals to colorful block letters, the sky is the limit!

Sugar Shapes & Ribbon: your baker may be able to create a unique topper just for you! Some shapes include snowflakes, starfish, or perhaps just an abstract piece of work? Not for you? Consider a sugar ribbon to 'tie' together your color scheme to the cake. The sky is the limit!

 Tip: if you wish to have your baker create a unique topper for the two of you, be sure to check their portfolio or express your topping needs before hiring the baker. Some bakers can make a scrumptious cake but are not equipped to create a work of art on the fly! |
