Cake Topper Size

Sara, on December 26, 2018 at 2:26 PM Posted in Planning 0 5

Hi guys.


I'm having a hard time deciding which size to buy for my cake topper. I have the options of:

- 5 inches

-6 inches


I don't know if five is too small, or six is too big. Ugh. I don't know what size our cake is yet, so I'm just getting some ideas first on a normal size.

    Have you picked out your cake? Maybe ask the baker to estimate?

    or you haven’t chosen cake/baker yet?

    Wait until you pick out your cake before purchasing the topper--- your baker will tell you what size based on your actual cake design

    Yes, this. Our baker told us what would look best. We had to be sure to get one with only one "stick" at the bottom. Sometimes there are 2 and she said they can be too far apart and not fit on the top layer properly. Wouldn't have even thought of that if she hadn't said it.

    Hey Sara!! I did a little research and it seems that standard size toppers are about 4.5 - 5 inches in size but it definitely depends on how big your cake is and how big you want your topper. Once you figure out the style and size of your cake the baker should be able to give a recommendation that's more accurate!

    What kind of cake topper are you going to buy?

    Just wait til you have the cake on order.

    Our baker recommended a 4" cake topper for our 6" top tier. It seems small to me, but she's the pro.
