Choosing the right cake topper may seem a little daunting with the numerous toppers available. From different materials and designs, the choices are overwhelming.
The initial step is to decide whether you want your Cake Toppers to be edible or not. You may like the idea of an entire cake that can be eaten, including the decorations. But many non-edible Cake Toppers open up other possibilities beyond edible toppers in terms of design.
Edible model cake toppers
These beautiful toppers are a head-turner. You can request your cake designer to make a model of your favourite character, animal, or even person. These toppers can match any design since they are bespoke. Because they are made to order, it provides you with incredible flexibility on designs you can have on your cake.
Edible printed topper
This type of topper is fun and exciting and can also be eaten. You can make to order something highly detailed, like a photograph on top of your cake or even the logo of your favourite brands. One example is a shoe design with the monogram of Louis Vuitton on it. The printed LV topper makes it look authentic. Although this task can be done manually, a printed design looks cleaner and sharper.
Cardboard print topper
Cake Toppers made of cardboard is a simple way to add a message to your cake centrepiece. These cardboard messages can be glitzy or glam and are impactful. Cardboard cutouts make the message super clear, and you can select any font you like to reflect your cake style. A cardboard topper is also one of the most cost-efficient ways to place a message on top of your cake.
Perspex topper
Perspex toppers are a level up of the cardboard topper. It provides a clean and stylish look to any centrepiece cake and enables you to choose a specific background colour and font colour. Therefore, it allows you to be more playful with your design. There are plenty of options from glittery and shiny so that you can kick up the glam. But perspex is slightly less flexible than cardboard toppers, and you are limited to designs that can fit on the disc. But it is a terrific opportunity for getting a sleek look to your cake.
Photographs
If you want your cake to be a celebration of your favourite memories, you can use actual photographs and use them as a topper. Although recreating scenes and memories with fondant and icing is lovely, sometimes you want the original image on top of your cake. Just print out some clips and creatively place the snaps on top of the cake.
Plastic model topper
Plastic model toppers can be terrific for your cake, especially if you don’t want to make highly detailed edible versions. There are plenty of small plastic models of popular characters from Disney to Pixar. These are perfect pieces to sit on top of your cake.
Moreover, they are reusable. Therefore, if you have kids obsessed with their favourite Frozen character and want them year on year on their cake, you can reuse them. But if you are looking to find something more niche, you might find it challenging to find precisely what you are looking for. In this case, an edible model enables you to get precisely what you want since they are made from scratch.
