Still, no matter how fabulous the cake tastes or how amazing the shape, its the topper that has climbed its way up those multi-level confectionary tiers to become the star of the show!

In the beginning, cake toppers were designed to symbolize the union of two people committing their lives to each other for eternity. The loving bride and groom, holding hands and looking forward to the future.

But the problem was, all the brides and grooms looked the same!

Well, times sure have changed. No longer are we stuck with the generic plastic couple staring out at us with blank faces and the wrong color hair. Wedding cake toppers have come a long way and are now considered to be the centerpiece of wedding cakes.

Instead of looking like little marrying toy soldiers, the couple style wedding cake toppers of today are so individualistic and geared to not only signify the union of two people, but to reflect the look and personalities of those two people.

Mixing the tradition of symbolizing the promise being made between two people
to be together for all of eternity with the contemporary, personalized, custom wedding cake topper is the 21st century bride and groom’s way of expressing themselves, along with expressing their love for each other.

Custom wedding cake toppers can be created in anywhere from 2 to 12 weeks
and should be considered long before the invitations are sent out. The last thing you want to do is find out you waited too long to get the perfect cake topper and are forced to use a less personalized one. Although, if that does happen, fear not because even the pre-made toppers of today are more custom looking than ever. Brides can purchases likenesses of themselves in areas of hair color and even body type. Grooms are available with any color hair or even without hair!

Keep your topper in mind when choosing your cake and speak to your baker
regarding size and weight limits and to gain advice and suggestions. An
alternative is to purchase your topper before you choose your cake, and then have your baker design the cake around the topper. After all, its the topper that’s the real icing on the cake!
