Cake Toppers – How to Choose The Perfect One





Any baker, be it by hobby or by profession would admit that a proper cake topper makes the perfect cake. Cake toppers symbolize the importance of any occasion. Cake toppers are easily available in different designs which can be chosen to suit any occasion. Cake toppers can also be ordered based on the color and the theme of the cake. Most commonly available cake toppers are the ones which are used in weddings and birthdays. They are also available in short, tall and medium varieties.

If you are planning a cake for any special occasion, always remember to follow few simple tips which can help you chose the perfect cake topper.

Remember to Match the Style or the Theme of Celebration

The style of celebration is a major factor which helps to determine the kind of cake you wish to bake and the cake topper you would need. The style of celebration depends on the guests who are invited and their preferences. For example, a wedding cake topper can be a formal one or the couple can chose a contemporary cake topper. For traditional marriages, the couple can opt for some vintage wedding cake topper. Even the wedding cake topper from the early 30’s or 20’s can still be purchased online. A classic cake can be topped with some flowers and porcelain hearts and an elegant monogram can also be included. Addition of kissing doves is also a brilliant idea. Name displays made in metal or acrylic shapes with the names of the bride and the groom can also be added as they create a romantic tone.

If you want the event to be a light-hearted celebration, then the couple can chose funny wedding cake toppers which would includes some figurines of the couple having some fun. Figurines like the couple having fun on a beach or riding a horse are some examples of same.



Birthday cake toppers are quite different from wedding cake toppers. For an elegant cake topper, a single topper can be chosen which is attractive or informative or both. An attractive birthday cake topper can include some fresh flowers, satin bow or some colorful butterflies. Informative cake topper ideas for birthdays include the year of birthday, the name of the person or a framed picture or even a birthday greeting. Any topper which is made up of a metal of good quality, glass or even acrylic, and given a touch of jewels and colors does look quite elegant.



If you are looking for some fun birthday themed cake topper ideas, one can consider choosing a topper of the kids favorite cartoon character or they can also chose to create an imaginary story. Toppers like Minnie mouse cake topper or the hello kitty cake topper make the best choice for cake toppers for birthday cakes. The themed cake can also at times display the hobby of the birthday boy/girl and they indeed make for an entertaining and a conversational piece.

Plan your Budget

It is always nice to spend for a special occasion, but all of us do have a budget. Fortunately, cake toppers are available for every budget, be it a wedding or a birthday. One can also opt for renting a cake topper instead of purchasing the same. There are also edible as well as inedible cake toppers which are easily available at food stores, craft stores and baking shops. One can also find various options with the online stores.

Order on Time

Taking take and shipping in advance is the ideal way to ensure that one gets what they want for their cake toppers. If you are planning to order a custom made item for any of the wedding cakes, keep those wedding seasons in mind and place your orders months in advance. Shopping online can also help to find some figurines which are not easily available with the local shops. But always remember to give yourself sufficient time for shopping.

Toppers on cakes can also be given as Party Souvenirs. The wedding cake toppers are often treasured for many years and are considered as family heirlooms. Before you make any purchase do remember to take an input from family or friends and make sure that all is done perfectly to make a fabulous looking cake topper.
