Key tips
- Ensure the base board for the cake is large enough to accommodate the topper so it doesn't end up hanging over the edge 4-5cm should be adequate.
- For peeking toppers carve a small hole for starters, while the icing is cold. You can always remove extra cake and icing for a snug fit.
- Please share the outcome so we can support each others businesses on socials.
- For COUPLES- ensure you arrange someone to collect and return the topper to you after the event.
Custom pet cake toppers will generally either be 'peeking' style or full body, which may be in a variety of different poses.
Peekers
Peekers are the most affordable option as they are only the face and front paws of a pet, thus are designed to be creatively incorporated literally into the cake.
The best way to place peekers is to dig out a small hole at either the base or on one of the tiers and push the back into the hole. Forming a fold over the top can create an extra clean finish.
Full body
Often couples will have a vision in mind for how they want the topper to be integrated into the overall cake design.
A particularly popular request includes the dog eating from the cake.
To achieve this outcome, it is helpful to dig a small hole into the cake and smudge some icing around the mouth if possible.
The best outcomes are created when the topper is thoughtfully and creatively incorporated, like how the icing around this doggo matches the cake's style.
