Man, he’s gonna be pissed when someone reads this article to him.

Love love LOVE these! I adore anything vintage, books, paper...so basically I’m asking if I can marry your cake toppers.

I would also try to murder someone if they removed me from delicious cake.

I’m sad I missed the original thread but I just went through it and WOW I love everyone’s creative toppers! I got two little birds hand painted on Etsy (to match our colors and what my flowers were going to be.)

We didn’t have a cake topper. At the time, it never occurred to me that such options were available. I was also way more focused on the “groom’s cake” (which was really the bride’s cake because my husband knew it was happening regardless) - which was, in true Steel Magnolias style, a red-velvet armadillo cake.

We got married on a tall ship, and my husband’s father gave us his boat, a Chris Craft replica he made with his own hands, as a wedding gift. So our wedding had a wee bit of a nautical theme. My husband made this cake topper.

The one on top of the cake was a couple whose skin and hair color was customizable, which was important to us as I didn’t want a default white couple representing us on our cake. And the pose we picked ismeaningful to us, as my husband is always…

I hot glued Han and Leia to plastic plate and festooned the edges with fake flowers to match the cake! And Han kept trying to fall down, so Mom and I had to glue him a LOT. WORTH IT.

I designed our wedding invites myself, then custom designed our Lego cake toppers based on them, aaaaaand they’re awesome.

Decorating it was one of my favorite wedding memories as my siblings and I were a bit intoxicated, singing along to the oldies station and decorating hundreds of cupcakes that resembled the…

He likes sharks, I love penguins. The first tattoos we got together, he got a shark , me a penguin. It just seemed to be a cute idea and a perfect topper for the little cake on top of about two hundred cupcakes. And yes, Etsy is a great place to get cake toppers of all kinds.

Here’s our Lego cake topper. Lego makes an official one now, but we pieced ours together thanks to the internet.

My husband and I met playing sports at Cornell University. We used a great clay artist from Etsy and total cost was like $50

Wheeee! I love our topper. My husband made it!
