Why Custom Cake Toppers Matter

Generic cake toppers don't capture what makes your relationship special. Custom figurines become treasured keepsakes that remind you of your big day for years to come.

Your Style

💝

Forever Memory

✅ Ideal Photos

• Good lighting, no harsh shadows
• Standing or posed together
• Wedding attire visible
• Natural, happy expressions

❌ Avoid These

• Blurry or motion-blurred shots
• One person behind the other
• Heavy filters or edits
• Cropped faces or bodies
• Dark or backlit photos

Food Safety

⚠️

Important Note3D printed figurines are not food-safe by default. Use a clear food-safe sealant or place on a small acrylic platform that sits on the cake.

Painting Your Topper

Step 1: Prime

Apply white or gray primer. This helps paint adhere and colors pop.

Step 2: Base Colors

Paint skin tones first, then clothing. Match to your actual wedding attire colors.

Step 3: Details

Add facial features, hair color, and small details. Take your time here.

Step 4: Seal

Apply clear coat to protect paint. Use food-safe sealant if touching cake.
