Personalised Cake Toppers: The Complete Guide
Everything you need to know about choosing, ordering, and using personalised cake toppers for birthdays, christenings, and celebrations.
A personalised cake topper turns an ordinary cake into something truly memorable. Whether it's a first birthday, a milestone celebration, or a christening, having your child's name on the cake makes it feel extra special.
Types of Personalised Cake Toppers
Animal Figurine Toppers
Our animal figurine toppers come dressed for the party with handmade glitter hats and optional balloons. You choose the colours to match your theme. After the party, they become a beloved toy — we love seeing photos of them on bedside tables months later!
Name & Age Toppers
Our Cricut-cut toppers are personalised with any name and age. Made from premium glitter and mirror cardstock, they're available in themes from Frozen castles to superhero adventures.
Cake Charms & Decorations
Our cake charms add elegant finishing touches — gold script messages, themed charm sets, and decorative elements that elevate any celebration cake.
How to Use a Cake Topper
Most of our toppers simply sit on top of the cake — no special tools needed. For figurine toppers, gently press them into the frosting. For name toppers with sticks, insert into the cake just before serving.
Ordering Tips
- Order 5-7 days ahead — each piece is handmade to order
