A cake topper is the piece that goes on top of a cake and finishes the look: a word, a crown, a character, or a calendar page with your special date. A simple cake with the right topper says the occasion without a word. Here are Avon Cake's toppers, which one suits which occasion, and how to add one to your order.
What is a topper?
A topper is a decorative piece pushed into the top of the cake. It isn't food, and it's separate from the cake's own decoration (piping, flowers, drawings): you add it on top.
Our toppers and what they suit
| Topper | What you see | Suits |
|---|---|---|
| Birthday Topper | "Happy Birthday" lettering, in gold or black | Birthdays |
| Crown Topper | A small crown set with sparkling stones on a rose-gold stick | Birthdays, weddings, any occasion |
| Bride Topper | A bride seen from behind in a full dress with a big bow, white or red | Wedding, bridal party |
| Love Topper | The word "Love" in glossy gold script | Valentine's, anniversaries |
| Holding the Heart Topper | A white Flork holding a red heart, or a brown bear hugging a big one | Valentine's, a gift for a partner |
| Wheel of Love Topper | A red and pink wheel with romantic prompts like Blow a Kiss and Give a Hug | Valentine's, anniversaries |
| Calendar Topper | A calendar page with the month in red and a red heart around your date | Anniversaries, birthdays, a first meeting |
For birthdays
The Birthday Topper is the obvious choice, in gold or black. The Crown Topper is a quieter, more elegant option if you'd rather not have lettering.
For cake ideas, browse birthday cakes and our birthday party add-ons.
For a bride or a wedding
The Bride Topper comes with a white or red dress and suits a wedding cake or a bridal party.
For love and anniversaries
Four options: the gold Love script, the Holding the Heart pair (Flork or bear), the Wheel of Love with its little prompts for two, and the Calendar to mark a date that belongs to you both. See heart and love cakes for the cakes to put them on.
How to add a topper to your order
Our toppers are listed under "Additions", and each product page says to add it to a cake order. So the idea is to choose your cake first, then add the topper.
- Choose your cake from birthday cakes or heart and love cakes, or build one in Design Your Cake.
- Open the topper's page from the table above.
- Pick the colour or design where there is one: Birthday (gold or black), Bride (white or red), Holding the Heart (Flork or bear).
- Type your date for the Calendar Topper, which asks for it when you order.
- Add it to your order with the cake, then choose your city and slot.
Want candles or balloons too? They're in candles and balloons, and our birthday candles guide has ideas.
Cakes that come with a topper
Some cakes are sold with a topper already on them. The Garden martini cake is a martini glass of cake with a calendar topper showing the date you choose; you type the date and your line when you order.
The Mother's Tenderness martini cake also comes with a topper carrying your wording.
A few tips
- Start from the occasion: birthday, love or wedding, then check the table.
- Keep the wording short: a single word or a date is enough, and writing on the cake itself is up to 25 characters. For ideas, read what to write on a cake.
- Order ahead: large cake sizes must be booked the day before. See the cake size guide.
