One of the advantages of cake toppers is the huge variety of styles and designs available. Classic bride and groom figures, monograms, romantic quotes, animals, silhouettes, funny images - the options are almost endless.

Some couples choose to include their pets or children in the cake topper, or opt for symbols that reflect their cultural background or traditions.

In addition, cake toppers can also be made from different materials such as wood, acrylic, glass, porcelain, fondant, etc. which offers the possibility for even more personalisation.
