Categories of wedding cake toppers

For many years, wedding cake toppers have been the little figures of the happy couple which are usually put on top of a wedding cake representing happiness and togetherness. Traditional wedding cake toppers with the couple in formal can be kept over the years even after the wedding ceremony and it might be the only part can be remain to represent the wedding, of course apart from photographs.

Once upon a time, wedding cake toppers consisted of a little plastic bride and groom. But now times have changed, you can buy wedding cake toppers in hundreds of different styles and materials and you are truly spoilt for choice....in fact maybe there are too many cake toppers, it would be really hard to make an exactly categories.

So there will be a general category about wedding cake toppers based on their materials.

1. Plastic and crystal. This is the most common material which be used in wedding cake toppers. Monogram Wedding Cake Toppers is the most featured one in this category. You should decide what initials you will use in your cake topper. Often the first initials of the couple are used. Another popular arrangement is to have the initial of the last name in the center, sometimes larger, and the bride and grooms first initials to the left and right. You may also want a very simple design using just the initial of the couple’s last name.

2. Porcelain and Polymer Clay. I put the two materials on one category since the materials are similar, they are both clay. But if you think the cake topper are still similar, that would be a huge mistake. Different clay and different crafting process will lead completely different appearance. Porcelain cake toppers usually have glazed surface and simple shape. However Polymer Clay cake toppers might be just the opposite of Porcelain cake toppers, the surface of Polymer Clay cake toppers is not glazed as Porcelain ones, but the shape can be very complicated. So porcelain cake toppers usually are premade ones, well Polymer Clay cake toppers can be customized by the customers.

3. Metal. It is seldom to see this kind of cake toppers in market, but if you want a heavy and safe feeling cake topper, this kind of cake topper might be a good idea.

There are still some others material cake toppers which we haven’t put together. We believe there are so many cake toppers, you sure can find one suitable for you, or at least you can custom one.
