Cake Toppers for Every Occasion

A cake topper is the finishing touch that sets a celebration cake apart — from a bold gold "Happy Birthday" script to a personalised name topper or a metal milestone number. At Baking Pleasures, our range covers acrylic lettering, metal milestone numbers, custom and personalised styles, character figurines, and bridal options, with something to suit every budget and celebration. All toppers in this collection are decorative and must be removed before eating.

Types of Cake Toppers

Acrylic Cake Toppers

Acrylic cake toppers are lightweight, durable, and available in a wide range of styles and finishes. Our BOLD range includes gold acrylic number toppers (0–9, 7cm height) and bold-style "Happy Birthday" toppers in blue, pink, and white — perfect for birthday cakes of all sizes. Acrylic toppers insert into the cake via a small spike base, sit above the surface, and are removed before serving. They're quick to apply, reusable, and one of the most versatile topper styles available.

Metal Cake Toppers

Metal cake toppers deliver a premium, long-lasting finish. Our Cake Craft metal range covers the most popular milestone birthdays — 18th, 21st, 30th, 40th, 50th, and 80th — in gold, rose gold, and silver finishes. These are the toppers that get kept as mementos long after the cake is eaten. Also available: Bride To Be metal toppers in gold, rose gold, and silver for hens' parties and engagement celebrations.

Wedding Cake Toppers

Our wedding cake toppers range covers every style of bridal celebration. For a classic look, our Bride To Be metal toppers in gold, rose gold, and silver are a popular choice for hens' nights and bridal showers. Our Mr and Mrs cake topper and bride and groom cake topper styles bring timeless elegance to wedding and engagement cakes, while script-style "Just Married" cake toppers make a gorgeous finishing touch for the reception table.

Cupcake Toppers

Cupcake toppers work on the same principle as full-size cake toppers but are scaled to fit standard cupcakes. Mini acrylic picks, character figurines, and decorative flags all make great cupcake toppers to match your party theme. Many of our acrylic number and letter toppers also suit oversized cupcakes — ideal for a first birthday smash cake or cupcake tower. For printed edible cupcake decorations, browse our edible toppers collection for icing image and wafer paper options in every character theme.

Decorative & Occasion Toppers

Decorative cake toppers like our Baby Pink Deco Fan add an elegant finishing touch without a specific character or number theme — ideal for baby showers, christenings, and simple celebration cakes. Also popular in this category:

  • Baptism cake toppers — elegant script and cross styles for christening and naming day celebrations
  • Wild one cake toppers — boho-style first birthday toppers
  • Rainbow cake toppers — bright, colourful toppers for first birthdays and rainbow-themed parties

Personalised & Custom Cake Toppers

Personalised cake toppers and custom cake toppers are one of the easiest ways to make a birthday or celebration cake feel truly unique. A topper with the recipient's name, age, or a personal message turns a standard birthday cake into something they'll want to photograph and remember. Our personalised acrylic range includes name toppers, custom message styles, and number-and-name combinations — ideal for milestone birthdays, baby showers, and weddings. Browse the personalised range in this collection and filter by occasion to find the right style.

Number Cake Toppers

Number cake toppers are one of the most popular topper styles for birthday cakes — a bold gold or rose gold number instantly marks the milestone being celebrated, whether it's a 1st birthday, a 21st, or a 50th. Our acrylic gold number toppers (0–9) are available individually and work on cakes of all sizes. If you're making a number cake — a cake shaped or decorated in the number itself — our range of supplies including letter and number moulds makes them achievable at home. Number cakes are a huge trend for milestone birthdays. For number-shaped cake tins, browse our cake tins and pans range.

FAQs About Cake Toppers

Yes — we have dedicated theme collections for the most popular characters. Visit Spiderman cake decorations, Minecraft cake decorations, Paw Patrol cake decorations, and many more via our cake themes hub. For licensed character prints directly on the cake surface, our edible toppers collection has the widest range.

Do you have soccer cake toppers?

Yes — browse our soccer cake decorations collection for soccer-themed toppers, sprinkles, and edible decorations. It's also worth checking our edible toppers range for printed soccer ball and jersey icing images.

What are cake toppers made from?

Our range includes acrylic toppers (lightweight, shatter-resistant plastic with a gloss finish), metal toppers (gold, rose gold, and silver-finish wire or cut metal), and plastic figurine sets (three-dimensional character figures). Each product listing specifies the material and dimensions.

How do you attach a cake topper?

Most acrylic and metal cake toppers include a spike or wire base that inserts directly into the top of the cake. For best results, insert into a firm iced surface — buttercream or fondant — shortly before serving. Avoid inserting toppers too early as moisture can affect the base. Always remove the topper and any wires or spikes before cutting and serving.

How long do cake toppers last?

Non-edible cake toppers last indefinitely when handled and stored with care. Keep acrylic toppers away from direct heat and sunlight to prevent warping or fading. Metal toppers are highly durable — many customers keep milestone toppers as keepsakes long after the party. Wipe clean with a dry cloth and store flat in a cool, dry place.

What is the difference between edible and non-edible cake toppers?

Edible cake toppers are made from food-safe materials — wafer paper, icing sheets, or sugar — and are eaten as part of the cake. Non-edible cake toppers (this collection) are made from acrylic, metal, or plastic and are purely decorative — they must be removed before eating. Both types are available at Baking Pleasures. Browse our edible toppers collection for eat-on-cake options.

Can I reuse cake toppers?

Yes — acrylic and metal cake toppers are fully reusable. Gently wipe clean with a damp cloth after use, allow to dry completely, and store flat. Metal milestone toppers are popular keepsakes and can be used again for future celebrations of the same milestone. Character figurine sets can also be washed and repurposed as play figures after the party.
