top it off!

July 20th, 2012 | Posted by Hello Love in Uncategorized - (1 Comments)

I remember as a girl thinking about how fun it would be to pick out a cake topper one day that looked just like me and my future husband (either I was destined to work in the cake biz or spent way too much time in romantic daydreams…maybe both!) And while the couple in formal attire is still a classic by some standards, brides these days have so many fun, whimsical, and creative new options for that top tier. Contemporary toppers in all their creative glory can accentuate a wedding’s theme or be the DIY handy work of a crafty bride. Either way, these charming little details are sweet mementos to cherish as your lives grow. A fun tradition: reuse your topper for anniversary cakes! -Emily Allen, Cake Walk Bake Shop

DIY: fashion wooden picks with tiny ribbon and washi tape flags. So cute as a collection!

Be it cotton candy, lollipop figures, or British liquorice, candy toppers are instant fun (and edible) charm.

DIY: spray paint rubber figures! Works great for drink stirs too.
