Again with the toppers
By Never teh BrideI’m not a big fan of the toppers, as you folks know. But some are admittedly better than others. Ball-and-chain groom toppers? Yuck. Cheap-o generic bride and groom toppers? Ew. There’s nothing wrong with forgoing the topper altogether. If you just have to have one, why not go for something with glitz?
You’ve got your sparkly initials.
And your sparkly, but un-initialed topper.
But don’t forget the initialed, but un-sparkly topper.
Or the not sparkly, not an initial, but also not a sill plastic bride and groom topper! The picture kind of sucks, so if you can’t see it, know that it’s the Chinese character for “Double Happiness.” This character, I’ve heard, is usually prominently displayed at Chinese weddings somewhere where the bride and groom will lay eyes on it often. If you put it on a delicious cake, I bet everyone will lay eyes on it often!

I bought a small rhinestone picture frame and framed a cute picture of the groom and I. It was cheap and personal and sat on the cake nicely.

I wish I had a good picture of our cake topper, but it was cars – a little white one and a little black one on a wooden stand.
I collect Hot Wheels, but couldn’t bear to open the packages on my ‘64 Continental convertibles, so Baconsdad went out and found brand new cars to stick on the cake, just for me, right after a fight. It was the best apology ever.

Great ideas, ladies!

I personally like the humorous cake tops. For example, the runaway groom figurine or one of the groom looking for the missing bride.
