Part of the celebration was a reception.  One of my sister-in-laws created a beautiful cake!  It was outstanding!  Stunning!  Not only beautiful but amazingly delicious!

It was topped with a simple but beautiful and classic cake topper.  Simply the number 50 in gold with flowers arranged around it on top of the cake.

Here are a few pictures of the happy couple and the cake!

Here is a little bit of a better shot of the cake and the cake topper.

The invitation was made to their liking and specifications with characters made to resemble the happy couple.  My friend Arian designed the invitation.  Then Arian’s husband Daniel, sculpted a cake topper of the characters on the invitation.  The result (of both) was fantastic.  Very unique.  Very personal.  Very memorable.  Very well done.

Here are some pictures.

Here it is close up, pre-cake!

Here it is! On the big day! What a beautiful cake! What a fantastic topper!

It is also used to describe what some people are looking for in a cake topper.  What does a bling bling cake topper look like?  Well they often have sequins in their design.  Sometimes rhinestones, or other jewels.  Sometimes made from crystal.  They can be gold or silver. They are bold and flashy!  They add sparkle and catch your eye.  They make a statement.

Monogram cake toppers are a great way to add some bling.  You could have a jeweled monogram cake topper.

Other custom cake toppers can artistically add the sparkle and bling that one desires.

Here are some examples of bling bling cake toppers!

Here is an example of a monogram cake topper that is definitely bling bling!

But enough about marrying your friend!  A dog is often called a man’s best friend, because they are loyal and faithful in all circumstances and always by your side.  (Really, like your spouse should be!)  If you have a dog and are getting married, you may also want them to be a part of the day….since you are becoming one big happy family.

So why not have a dog on your cake topper?  There are lot’s of great cake toppers with dogs.  Some with the married couple and a dog, some with a couple of your favorite kind of dog.  There are lots of options!

Here are a few pictures of some wedding cake toppers that include our loyal furry friends!

It seems America’s favorite past time has deeply affected many couples these days, enough to use them as the focal point for their wedding cake!

This one is simple and beautiful. I love it!

Anniversaries, in my opinion are an even more spectacular and important event.  They are a way to celebrate the success and faithfulness of that commitment and life together as well as to honor the continued life together.  Each anniversary is important, however there are milestone anniversaries that get special attention, and that people often celebrate with a party, couples sometimes renew their vows  and often there is a cake!

There are many options for anniversary cake toppers!  Probably just as many as wedding cake toppers!  They can look very much like wedding cake toppers, or they can focus on the number of years the couple has been together.

We have the honor this year of celebrating my husbands parents 50th wedding anniversary.  50 years!  Now that is something to celebrate.  So my mind has been on that celebration.  Here are a few cake toppers I have seen for those amazing couples who have shared 50 years together.

So why not on your cake? A rabbit would be great on a spring or Easter cake, but also on a birthday cake for the bunny loving child or adult. There are also some great wedding cake toppers with rabbits on them.

Below see a beautiful and delicate hand crafted cake topper. This caketopper depicts two rabbits. It would be great as a wedding cake topper, but would also work well for any spring special occasion. You can see more of this artists work by clicking here.

Haven’t found the cake topper that really embodies “you”? Nothing quite the right style or look? Not your personality shining through? Well now you can have a custom cake topper made with a figurine of yourself! The bride and groom can be crafted in an animated, cartoon fashion. The art work and depiction is really remarkable. You can have the artist add any details you desire. Would you like your wedding cake topper to depict the bride and groom dressed for one of their favorite activities? You can! Would you like to celebrate your anniversary with a cake topper depicting the bride and groom as they were on that day? Absolutely doable! What about celebrating your child with a cake topped with a figurine of him or her doing what they love to do? The options are endless.

I ran accross one artist in particular whose work is remarkable and whom designs these custom figurines specifically for cake toppers. What a unique idea!

Here is a link to some of her work. Here is one of a couple on a bike. Her name is Lily, and she is definitely an artist!
