DIY or Buy? - Cake Topper

Joey, on April 16, 2018 at 08:48 Posted in DIY 0 28

We want to know what wedding projects you're taking on by yourself, and which you are leaving up to the professionals.

Will the decoration sitting on top of your wedding cake be supplied by your baker or florist, or will it be an item you've made?

    We're nixing the cake topper. Most people will probably be full by the time cake comes out at ours that I don't think it'll even be a big spectacle.

    The venue is doing our wedding cake and the cake topper is going to be edible. It's a detail I don't care about.

    We found one that we both really want. However it's like 60 bucks. So we're waiting to hope it goes on sale! We will probably end up just buying it though.

    I made DIY cake toppers for a friend's wedding that were cute and simple! I think I may stick with the same thing for my own upcoming wedding.

    I’m buying one that says forever. We always say forever to each other. Thought it would be a nice touch.

    Doing custom figures is so cute!!! I made custom ones for our 5 year anniversary and they were very well received. I would love to see a pic when you get them done!

    Love this!


    We aren't having a cake, so no topper required.

    I hadn't considered a DIY cake topper! We haven't looked into this yet, so I'll have to see what options I have/what I can do. I'm not big at spending money on one time use items, where they are only priced so high because it's wedding stuff. If I can make the same thing for half the price, I will.

    I bought a custom made topper from amazon with our name and date on it!

    Since my fiance and I are huge nerds and collect Pop Vinyl Figures, I'll be making custom ones of us in wedding gear to go on top of the cake (or beside) as well!

    We purchased ours from Etsy! It's a little homage to Dr.Who, so it was perfect for us.

    Our cake topper was also purchased from Etsy. So many good finds on there.
