Wedding Cake Toppers Have Come a Long Way
Cake toppers are the best-kept secret in modern wedding design. In the 50s, they showed up on every cake beautiful cake looking just the same: a small plastic bride and groom, dressed formally, she in a white dress and he in a black jacket, stiffly standing next to each other on the top tier of a white cake. No diversity in sight. Happily, there are now a million different vendors out there selling toppers, and their designs are anything but the same-old, same-old style. Culture, sexual orientation, ethnic background, and personal taste are all easily represented by the hundreds of choices you have at the click of a button. This variety makes choosing a topper that really represents you as a couple much more fun. Toppers went out of fashion for several years in the 2000s when minimalistic cake design was in. Your older siblings or friends might not have had one on their cakes just a few years ago. Now that highly personalized weddings are back in fashion, wedding cake toppers are a simple and impactful way to add interest to your cake and to enhance your theme. From the hilarious to the super sweet, there’s definitely a topper out there for you. Cake toppers are the finishing tough to beautiful wedding cakes.Did you know?

Here are a few ideas for modern wedding cake toppers:
Nature
-
Animal toppers are a perennial favorite. Pick two of a kind, or one that represents each of you separately.
- Flowers, fruit, or other natural materials suit an outdoor wedding. Pile them up around and over the cake for an abundant look; choose local fruits and flowers to make a destination wedding extra memorable. Marzipan or spun-sugar flowers and fruit are beautiful and delicate, and can be enjoyed by your guests as well.
Graphic
- For a mod look, choose a laser-cut saying that represents you as a couple. A religious verse or one line of a poem are perfect for this clean topper.
- A cute banner with little bunting letters, or a simple ribbon spelling out your names, will give an adorable fair vibe to your wedding cake.
- Initials are a popular choice for toppers, in various materials like wood or sugar. Your monogrammed cake will be a monument to old-school class.
- Laser-cutting is a great technique for getting very precise outlines, making it perfect for silhouettes. You can create a vintage-looking topper with a cameo feel using your actual profiles.
Theme/Other
- Try a hobby topper, or something from the wedding’s theme. If you’re having a beach-themed wedding, for example, you could choose merpeople or shells to top off your cake. If you love running marathons together, two pairs of running shoes and little race bibs could show off your shared interests as you run off into the sunset together.
- Cake toppers depicting a formally dressed couple look fresh when they’re not strictly patterned on the vintage design. Look for interesting materials like wood, paper, and cloth, and creative elements that speak to you as individuals.
- Wedding bells are a beautiful option for any cake. The chimes from church bells are symbolic, supposedly warding off evil spirits. Add a ribbon for extra flair and you’ve got a lovely picture of a cake.
- Sparklers at an outdoor wedding are tons of fun, folding the cake into the summertime theme and dramatically lighting up your cake cutting. Fireworks embedded in the top tier are even more exciting, so make sure you only use these if you want the cake to be a true focal point. Pinwheels are a fun option for daytime weddings, and mini pinwheels can be used as cupcake toppers.
