    • ]]>     Many traditional tiered wedding cakes feature plastic bride and groom statuettes available in a variety of genders, races and hair colors.  But cake toppers are a huge industry and are available for all types of cakes and occasions.  They add personality and uniqueness to any cake.

    You’ll find kids’ birthday cake toppers featuring characters like Dora the Explorer, Superman or Spongebob.  For adults, the sky’s the limit.  If a birthday cake is for an avid fisherman, there’s large mouth bass cake topper.   If you’re celebrating a dog lover’s birthday, you can get cake toppers featuring their favorite breed.  There are even musical, religious and casino-theme birthday cake toppers.  It’s easy to find a cake topper that matches the theme of your party.

    Prices for wedding and birthday cake toppers run from just a few dollars to over $50 dollars for something large and elaborate.  But when you present a unique cake topper, it also serves as a keepsake from the special day.
