Putting the Fringe on Top with the Perfect Cake Topper

The wedding cake is obviously of great importance to the whole event, however, be sure not to overlook the cake topper as well. Brides not only want their cakes to taste great, but look amazing as well - this is not complete until you have chosen the perfect cake topper.

Figurines
The classic look is to use a bride and groom figurine. Often made of porcelain, these can give a great vintage style to your cake, especially if you seek out an antique topper from the 1940s or 50s. A more modern spin on this seems to be crystal figurines or finding customized figurines online to represent almost any pairing of couple.

Flowers
A lot of couples are opting away from the traditional cake topper towards other designs. One easy way to dress up your cake is with fresh flowers that tie in with the bridal bouquets and even centre pieces. They are always beautiful, and can be fresh flowers or even sugar flowers to make the cake all-edible.

Monograms
More elaborate cakes don't have the space for a big cake topper, and often cake make the cake look like the topper doesn't match. A great new trend with more design-complex cakes is to use monograms. You can have a custom monogram designed with the bride and groom's initials to stand atop your wedding cake, made of numerous types of materials. What bride doesn't like sparkles?! Many of these cake toppers feature crystals or rhinestones that you can tie in with the brides' jewelry.

Themed Toppers
Another trend is to choose a cake topper that coordinates with the theme of your wedding. For instance, if you are having an Asian inspired event, then you can use the "double happiness" symbol as your cake topper. In the hands of an expert cake designer, the possibilities are virtually limitless.

Fun Toppers
Want to show your silly side or one of your favourite things? If you love Disneyworld, then choose a Mickey and Minnie Mouse cake topper set, or Cinderella and Prince Charming. The cake topper is a fun way to inject your personality into the wedding, so let the good times (and ideas) roll!


Whatever you choose for your topper, be sure that it is appropriate for you and your new life partner.
