If you want to have an ‘out of the box’ wedding cake topper idea then you are at the right place. Because the idea we discuss here is truly creative and at the same time captures the essence of a ‘wedding celebration.’

Instead of using actual dolls, use elements to set the tone and leverage people’s thinking prowess to create a memorable cake topper. Using tiny wires, create a skeleton of a bride and groom.

14. Celestial cake with half-moon cake topper:

If you want a unique cake design and want to look beyond the standard white-colored cakes, then go for a dark-color cake that reflects a specific theme. Having a flamboyant cake topper on such a unique cake can be a counter-effective idea as it may hamper the cake’s beauty.

So it’s better to go for a simple and minimalistic cake topper design. You can even use a couple of edible half-moons adorned with stars as cake toppers to go a celestial-themed cake. You can have some designs of constellations around it to sync it with the theme.

15. Multi-tier cake with figurines of wedding couple:

If you have a multiple-tier cake then it’s always advisable to have a cake topper as the design of these multi-layered cakes diverts the attention of the onlookers to the top of the cake. So if you keep the top of the cake empty, the cake’s design appears to be unfinished.

So what should you add as a cake topper on top of a multi-tiered cake? The best option is to have tiny real-looking figurines of the wedding couple. This will give the wedding cake an identity and will make the event memorable for the guests and the couple.

16. ‘Mr. and Mrs.’ text with edible flowers:

If you prefer elegance over flamboyance and like clutter-free decorations instead of crowded ones, then this wedding cake topper idea is for you. You can use it for cakes of single or multiple tiers. There are two parts to this cake topper idea. The first part is a cake topper of text and the second cake topper is an edible floral decoration.

Have a cardboard or plastic cake topper of calligraphically written ‘Mr.’ and ‘Mrs.’ letters and install it on top of your cake. These letters give the cake the identity of a ‘wedding cake.’
The beauty of the cake though will come from the second cake topper. These edible flowers would bring freshness to the event and will make your cake look prettier.

Here ensure that you get the flowers done by a reliable artist as the entire impact of this wedding cake topper idea depends on how realistic the flowers and leaves appear.

17. Wedding couple along with their pet as cake topper:
