Name cake topper ideas: wording, finish and colour

A personalised acrylic cake topper brings a birthday or celebration cake together. Here is how to choose the details so it looks just right.

Start with the wording

A first name is the classic choice, and it reads clearly from across the table. Short words and names look neat, but longer words work too. When you order, you enter your exact wording, so check the spelling before you add it to your basket.

Plain or Mirror finish

Each topper is made in a Plain or a Mirror finish. Plain gives a soft, solid look. Mirror has a reflective shine that catches the light on the cake.

Match the colour to your cake

Pick the colour that suits your cake, balloons or party theme. A strong colour stands out against pale icing, and a softer colour blends in for a more delicate look.

Shapes to choose from

The range includes personalised birthday cake toppers, heart and flower designs, and cupcake charms. Check the individual product listing for its exact size, finish and available pack options.

Check the size against the cake

Measure the cake top before choosing a design. Think about the decorations already planned, the height of the cake and where the name will sit in photographs. A topper and a cupcake charm serve different purposes, so choose the product intended for the cake or cupcakes you are decorating.

Give the wording a final check

Read the name, age and message exactly as you want them made. Put any layout preferences in the item instructions. If the design you need is not listed, ask Glenn about a custom topper before placing the order.
