The Best Cake Toppers

Bride and groom cake toppers are the best for weddings.


Cake toppers can be used on birthday cakes, special event cakes and wedding cakes. A cake topper should represent the recipient of the cake, but also the overall cake theme. When looking for a cake topper to use for your next event, consider some of these unique ideas.


Brides and Grooms


The most traditional and best topper for a wedding cake is the use of a bride and groom. This can be a traditional set that has the bride and groom standing together ready to wed or there are more playful options. Some playful options available are brides dragging the groom across the cake, a bride or groom falling off the cake or the couple dancing.








Sugar Flowers or Real Flowers


Flowers can be a topping for a birthday cake or wedding cake. Though flowers are often real, edible sugar flowers can be used as well. A simple bouquet of flowers can be created as a cake topper or a more modern approach using just one large flower angled on the top edge of the cake.


Clean Sea Shells


The best cake topper to use for a beach-themed cake is something from the sea itself. Create a topper using cleaned sea shells, starfish or edible sea shells made from chocolate and gum paste.


Monograms


Monograms are the best cake topper to use for a wedding or a glamor cake in which the star is the recipient of the cake. Monograms can be purchased in gem-studded designs, plain white, colors or metallic options.


Candy


Candy is an edible cake topper that is the best to use when the overall event has a candy buffet theme. Top a cake with a dish full of candies colored to match the cake and theme, or create a bouquet using chocolate truffles to top off the cake. Another option is to create a bouquet using lollipops to top a colorful cake.


Doves


Doves are an elegant cake topper used best for wedding cakes. These can be made edible from chocolate or gumpaste and placed on top of a wedding cake or inedible figurines can be purchased as well.


Bows


Bows provide a modern topper to cakes that work for all events. These bows can be edible and made from pulled sugar, gum paste or chocolate or inedible fabric. A bow can be large and have ribbons flowing down the sides of the cake or a smaller and simpler bow tied at the top.
