The Ultimate Cake Topper Sizing Guide
At SugarCoatedLondon, we're cake topper experts, and we've crafted the Ultimate Cake Topper Sizing Guide! We sell thousands each year for weddings, birthdays, and anniversaries through SugarCoatedLondon.com and our ETSY store. Here are answers to common questions about choosing the right cake topper size.
Cake toppers enhance your cake's look, whether homemade or professional. But finding the right size can be tricky for newcomers.
Our Sizing Guide:
When choosing a cake topper, consider your cake's diameter. For a subtle topper on a heavily decorated cake, pick one 0.5" to 1.5" smaller. For a standout topper, choose a size that matches or slightly undercuts your cake's width. Don't go bigger than your cake.
For multi-tiered cakes, match the topper size to the top tier's diameter. A topper's height may vary based on the name's characters.
Cake toppers add a personal touch to your cake for any occasion. Materials vary from acrylic to wood, metal, or edibles like sugar or fondant. Clear acrylic toppers can be less imposing and versatile.
Consider your cake's height; taller cakes suit smaller toppers, and shorter cakes can handle larger ones. Placement matters too—top, side, or around the cake base.
The topper should match your event's theme and style. Formal events call for elegance, while birthdays can be playful. Size and design should align with the cake's style.
Still unsure? Consult your cake decorator or Sugar Coated London for recommendations. We may offer digital samples for selection. Online inspiration, preview is also available.
In conclusion, the right topper size impacts your cake's balance and effect. Consider the cake's size, height, placement, theme, and seek expert advice. With the perfect size and design, your cake topper is the ideal finishing touch.
