Sweet nothings
Gone are the days when wax figurines were the only option for wedding cake topper ideas. Today your cake can be finished in any fashion you like. If you’re a sucker for all-things sweet, giant donuts or cookie towers could be a unique finishing touch.

Picture perfect
Edible printing has come on leaps and bounds, so why not choose a fond photo and have it created in edible form? Go for a sepia effect for vintage weddings or black and white for a sophisticated, black tie twist.
Alternatively, some simple clips allow you to decorate your cake with Polaroid print-outs for an adorable vintage look.

Top off a theme
If you’ve chosen a theme for your wedding decor, use it to inspire your wedding cake topper ideas too. Think bunting for a country barn wedding, geode shards for a glamorous celebration or hand-painted mandalas for a bohemian theme.
