Finding and Making DIY Wedding Cake Toppers

Using DIY Wedding Cake Toppers

DIY Wedding Cake Toppers

A DIY bride knows that any detail of you wedding is made even more special when you make it yourself. DIY wedding cake toppers are just the same, but you might want to skip trying to mold figures of you and your one-and-only out of clay. If you really want to make DIY wedding cake toppers all they can be, try to add something to an existing cake topper; add something that will take a regular cake topper and make it just for you.   There are many ways you can take generic toppers and make them DIY wedding cake toppers; you are limited only by your imagination. Many brides choose to combine figurines and toppers to make them DIY wedding cake toppers, such as adding figures of your beloved pets or preferred mode of transportation to the top of your fluffy pastry. While you haven't technically made these DIY wedding cake toppers yourself, the combination ends up as something uniquely yours. This also works for mix-and-match cake toppers. Finally, if you are truly crafty, make something uniquely yours as an accompaniment to your DIY wedding cake toppers. Build a bridge or ladder to connect two tiers of cake; use fondant to mold a seat for your figurines; go crazy! DIY wedding cake toppers are DIY for one reason: they came from you and your beautiful brain.

The Beauty and Versatility of Lovebird Cake Toppers

Symbolic Lovebird Cake Toppers

Lovebird Cake Toppers

Finding the right cake toppers for your day can be difficult if you really aren’t interested in traditional toppers. If monograms or little people aren’t your thing, maybe the symbolic lovebird cake toppers are more your style. Lovebird cake toppers fit in perfectly at all kinds of events, from backyard barbeques to fancy loft affairs; every couple can appreciate the simple beauty of lovebird cake toppers. What makes lovebird cake toppers different from other animal pastry crowns is their symbolic meaning. Lion or flamingo cake toppers just don’t have the backing and tradition of lovebird cake toppers (but if that’s your thing, go for it!) Lovebird cake toppers look wonderful on cake tables, escort card tables, and even sweetheart tables – don’t feel limited in your placement of these figurines just because they end in the words “cake toppers.” If you’re thinking of gifting lovebird cake toppers to a special couple in your life, pass on how versatile these little figurines are. Lovebird cake toppers don’t have to be used as toppers; they make lovely additions to any home as another symbol of the couple’s undying love for one another. Lovebird cake toppers aren’t just wedding gifts; they’re gifts for any couple who adores tiny little nesting symbols of commitment.

A Few Notes on Cheap Wedding Cake Toppers

Selecting and Purchasing Cheap Wedding Cake Toppers

Cheap Wedding Cake Toppers

The perfect wedding cake topper doesn't have to break the bank. In fact, it isn't hard to find cheap wedding cake toppers under fifty or even twenty dollars, if you know where to look. There are few things you should pay attention to (and some questions you should ask) when selecting cheap wedding cake toppers - in fact, any wedding cake toppers should be subject to a few basic questions. When you've found cheap wedding cake toppers that suit your style, taste, and budget (never settle - there's always something out there for any budget!), be sure to contact the seller if there are still any questions about the product that remain unanswered. Here are some things you should know before you buy:   - Make sure you know how wide your cheap wedding cake toppers are. If the top of your cake is too narrow, your cheap wedding cake toppers will topple right over the edge. Get the cake measurements from your baker and have them available when ordering your cheap wedding cake toppers. If the measurements aren't listed on the site, contact the seller and inquire. If you're purchasing your cheap wedding cake toppers before ordering your cake, the same is true - but in reverse!   - Make sure you know how much your cheap wedding cake toppers weigh. If you are familiar with the material (you can guess how heavy a topper will be if it's made out of plastic or porcelain and you have access to the measurements), you should keep them in mind when reporting to the baker. If you have any doubts, however, always contact the seller with any questions, comments, or concerns you have about your cheap wedding cake toppers!

Culture and Elegance with Pewter Wedding Cake Toppers

Pewter Wedding Cake Toppers for your Day

 

Pewter Wedding Cake Toppers

Fans of the Renaissance Faire know exactly what the importance of pewter is. Pewter is found in models, figurines, drinking cups, and in every little accessory in between. Pewter is a wonderful material in its ability to appear old and weathered when it’s band new – it lends a feel of age and fantasy to something that would ordinarily look… well… ordinary. So why not order pewter wedding cake toppers while you’re pewtering everything else?   Pewter wedding cake toppers add a hint of age and elegance to your pastry topper territory, and they always fit in at any sort of wedding – especially those in costume! (but they don’t have to be). Add pewter wedding cake toppers that fit the theme by finding styles that include dragons, creeping vines, and notable characters of the lore (Robin Hood and Maid Marion, Romeo and Juliet, etc). Even if you can’t hold your wedding at the Faire like you really wanted to, pewter wedding cake toppers bring the spirit of the culture to the top of your wedding cake (or escort card table, or dessert buffet). Also, imagine how beautiful pewter wedding cake toppers will look beside the rest of your pewter figurines! Let pewter wedding cake toppers be a part of your life!
