Cake toppers are the icing on your wedding cake. Well, in reality, they’re the icing ON the icing of your wedding cake. A wedding cake doesn’t really seem complete without one. Without a cake topper, your cake is just a cake, and no one wants just a cake on display at their wedding.
If you’re not into bride and groom figures, and you’re not trying to incorporate a larger theme, a monogram cake topper is a simple and classic way to personalize your cake. It makes the day even more about your union as a couple and looks oh so elegant perched on top of your cake.
The monograms can consist of your two separate first name initials with an ampersand sign between or the initial of your (new combined) last name sandwiched between your separate initials. Want to keep things simple? Choose a cake topper with a single initial that reflects your new last name, symbolic of your coming together as one.
These custom cake toppers come in all sizes, materials, and colors. There’s no question you’ll find one that matches your personal style and taste and that will mesh well with the rest of your wedding. Make sure to pay careful attention to the measurements of the top tier of your wedding cake so that you don’t wind up with a custom monogrammed cake topper that doesn’t fit.
This cake topper is on the moderate to small side, measuring just over four inches high and with a base diameter of three and a half inches. It’s made from real wood and is hand engraved. Once the engraving is finished, it’s burned for a more authentic look. It can either be ordered with two initials to represent your two first names, or with one single initial to represent your new joined last name. This is a great option for a country or western wedding, with lots of rustic accents. If you want to tie some other rustic wood elements into your design, these table numbers, this engraved ring holder, or this wood heart confetti will all work great. If you want to include your wedding date on your cake topper, this option from the same designer has an option to engrave a date under the monogram.

Many brides are choosing to skip the big tiered wedding cake for smaller pies, cakes, and cupcakes. If you’re going one of those routes, a simple flag cake topper like this is a great option. We especially like this option for rural, country, and daytime weddings, given the more casual nature of the burlap fabric. The cake topper features three hardened burlap flags, all attached to wooden skewers with jute twine. The letters on the burlap are hand cut from wool felt with so many colors available for you to choose from. The entire width of the cake topper measures about eight inches and is pictured in the above image on a seven inch round cake.
