Wedding Cake Trends: Custom Monogram Cake Topper

By Perfect Wedding Guide ‘National Wedding Expert’, Susan Southerland

A wedding cake trend that has been on the scene for a little while now, and looks like it’s here to stay, is the custom monogram cake topper. Personally, I love how the initials represent a couple’s now shared name as a symbol of their new life together. This is one of the most versatile types of cake toppers, as it can be customized in a variety of ways to get just the look you’re going for!


Simple & Elegant: This plain metallic silver cake topper gives a polished look to this delicious dessert without competing with the drama of the rich, bold flowers.

Splash of Sparkle: This topper has an added touch of bling, with just a few crystals to catch the eye atop a mix of traditional cornelli lace and a modern pear and ivory color palette.

Platinum Pearl-fection: This fully embellished crystal wedding cake topper makes a statement in solid silver, but doesn’t go over the top. Don’t forget, you can choose your own monogram font, color, and base material (glass, metal, acrylic, etc).

Hues in Twos: This last topper trend takes it all the way; it’s not only fully bejeweled, but has two different colors of crystals which really stands out on top of a simpler cake.

    Beautiful cakes! I help run a venue in Birmingham AL. Most brides still want to keep the top tier of their cake but if you plan to keep it a year, you must store it properly.

    First, pre-freeze it for a few hours once it arrives home. This makes it much easier to wrap. Second wrap it in plastic wrap and keep as much air out as possible. Third wrap it in foil. Finally put it into something that is air tight like tupper ware.

    Of course a year is a long time, but if you want to even attempt to eat it (without tasting like stale refrigerator water) you must store it properly
