Fun wedding cake toppers – make your cake unique

Placing fun wedding cake toppers on a wedding cake has become a popular way to add a unique touch to your reception. Your guests have something to talk about from the moment they walk in, and your wedding theme can be reflected down to the smallest detail. Also, remember that you will have a memory of your cake that will not melt when you take it out of the freezer.

Deciding on your own cake topper can be a challenge with the multitude of options out there. Here are some tips on how to select the one that is right for you. Think about the following:

• Do you want to make people laugh?
• Are there any hobbies or sports that you are both really into?
• Is your theme something you want to remember for years to come?
• Is this a keepsake that you can display on a shelf in the living room?
• Will you embarrass someone with the topper you have selected?

Make sure that you will feel comfortable displaying your cake decoration in front of all your guests. If it’s something that’s going to give your grandmother a heart attack, reconsider your choice. Otherwise, fun wedding cake toppers can be one of the hits of the party. However, if you want a more conservative or elegant wedding, choose monogrammed, vintage or traditional cake toppers.

You can find wedding cake toppers in a variety of places or create your own. Online stores have the widest variety and a good pastry chef can customize a Caucasian one to be ethnic if you need it. You can also find many themed toppers online. An alternative is to have your pastry chef mold one out of fondant or chocolate. You won’t be able to use it as a souvenir, but the sky is the limit on what you can do.

Other options involve making your own cake decorations. If you know a local sculptor or someone good at crafting, they can make you one. Or, if someone in the family is good with their hands, try to persuade them to make you one. Just make sure they do it on time! Finally, did a parent or grandparent keep theirs? That would be really vintage and could bring something ‘old’ to your wedding that is unique and memorable. Personally, I still like funny wedding cake toppers better if I could do my own wedding again, but that’s just my preference. You need to go with your first instinct.
