Tip: If you have a small guest list, but still want a tall-tiered cake, I can create the bottom layer out of styrofoam and decorate it to look like the rest of the cake. Alternatively, if you have a robust number of guests to feed, consider ordering a three-tiered cake, and then making up the rest of the slices with a sheet cake (to be sliced up discretely in the kitchen

Cake Toppers
Consider your cake a great piece of art. Avoid topping your cake with a generic bride and groom topper, or cookie cutter. Instead, top it something that’s uniquely you. A few ideas:
Heirloom cake topper (perhaps your mom and dad’s or even grandparent’s)
Meaningful family piece (an antique brooch or small vase)
Locale topper (cluster of coral for a beach wedding; evergreen for a mountain wedding; or grapes for a vineyard wedding, African design for a “bushveld wedding”)
Seasonal topper (fondant winter wedding; autumn leaves; and daisies for summer)
Monogram topper (sugar letters; frosted monogram cookie topper; or even a chocolate-molded monogram topper)
Simple toppers (chocolate shavings, fresh or sugar flowers, or a cascade of ribbons)
Tip: Not into the cake topper idea? Don’t use one. Some cake designs look great without any topper at all. Do it this way and you won’t distract from the pattern on the cake.
