Think cake jewelry. This cake achieved maximum sparkle without even having a topper! The branches on the cake were crystallized and matched the look of the invitations. Loose Swarovski stones in a coordinating color (Rose) were also used on the cake to extend the crystal theme. A whimsy, sparkling outcome for one lucky girl!
Colors: Smoked Topaz (branches), Ruby, Rose, Fuchsia (flowers)

Contrast is everything! Contrasting letters works best when keeping the color set on each letter low in contrast so the letters stand out from each other. If the colors get too busy, the effect is lost. Nobody wants an illegible monogram cake topper. Here, not only do the colors offset each other but the fonts do, too. I love pairing a feminine font with a bold masculine font.

Every couple planning their wedding strives for the unique factor; something that sets their wedding apart from the rest. While an entwined monogram is a popular choice, I think because it symbolizes the unity of two coming together as one, custom made designs are also being used along with initials to help distinguish the monogram as their own and in doing so sets a theme for the event. This is an example of just that…

Color variety and of course the right amount of contrast is critical in pulling off a topper with so many colors. Luckily Swarovski crystals come in a bunch to great options when it comes to the ivory/golds/browns palettes.

I just loved the way this one came out, I think because the center of the sunflower coordinates with the blended browns of the “L” without being too “matchy-matchy”.

I had a DVR set to record, a video camera in one hand, and a digital camera in the other to be sure and capture Daneris and Hector’s custom logo cake topper as their big day was covered on WE TV’s Platinum Weddings. It aired May 24th and is scheduled to air again June 28 at 2 pm EST. Beyond exciting!

A special thank you to Tina LaMorte at Oh So Fab for bringing the topper into the cake design.
I never knew an apple could look quite so elegant. I was really excited when I received this logo and was asked to make it into a cake topper.
And here is the outcome…
