Cake Toppers

I'm really not a big fan of cake toppers. Most of the ones I've seen are gaudy and take away from the beauty of the cake. However, I do have a soft spot for using initials as a cake topper. Either the single letter to represent the last name or three initials to represent the first names of the bride and groom and their new last name. It's simple and elegant.




Although, if you're interested in a bride/groom cake topper, weddingstar.com has a lot of creative variations of the traditional figurine.

Recently, I've come across several sites that create custom wedding cake toppers. Most of them resemble charicatures and distorted bobble heads. It's kind of fun, but they look incredibly awkward and juvenile on top of a cake. You can email the company a photo of you and your fiance, and they will customize the faces of the cake topper to resemble your own. Next, choose the skin, hair, and eye colors, and you're good to go. Be prepared to drop a pretty hefty sum. Toppers created through microdwarf.com average about $180-$200. You can even add a figurine of your pet(s) for $50 more.
