One of the major things we have to think about when organizing a special occasion or event is the cake. Many parties have been sullied by a poor cake, so make sure you don’t make the same mistake. A part from anniversaries and weddings, other events which deserve a great cake are the likes of christening, birthdays, engagements etc.

Get a cake to harmonize with and compliment the event. Everyone likes to look at a cake, and you want to be overwhelmed with compliments not mumbles.

There will be dozens of designs appropriate for your event, and you may find yourself spoilt for choice. If it’s for a kid’s birthday party, let them help with the design.

A professional baker, obviously, will be able to design instantly. If you have a rough idea of what you want, explain it to a baker in as much detail as possible and he will turn it into a cake.

How you choose the theme, colors, flowers etc is an extension of your personality. Your cake topper can be too, so don’t think that you have to have the traditional bride and groom topper.

Make your cake topper as modern and as funky as you want. Have floral ones, or crystal or porcelain. You can even eat your topper if you really want to!

As most cake toppers are hand made, they can be created to depict anything you would like. If you go for the traditional type they can even be made to look like you. A circular base is most common as the names and date can be engraved on it.

Make sure that you get one that compliments the size of the cake and doesn’t overwhelm it. Ask to see and example of the size of cake you have chosen so you can get the perfect sized topper.
