After searching and searching for a wedding cake topper, we never found anything that we could picture being on top of our cake. The traditional bride and groom toppers look nothing like Mr. Spring Roll and I, and although cute, animal toppers aren’t for me. I could have opted for no topper, however, a cake without a topper is incomplete in my eyes. After several weeks of contemplating, we decided to go with a monogram cake topper.
I ordered a 5 inch (based on the website recommendation for a top layer of 6 inches) ’W’ in Scriptina font from Wedding Cuts for $32.85. Additionally, I purchased one box of orange and pink peel-and-stick rhinestones for around $4 at Jo-Ann. Using a pair of tweezers, I peeled off the adhesive from each rhinestone and placed them on one by one, alternating between the colors.
While working on our cake topper, I looked over to my left and found Isabella getting into her “toy box”. She was very determined to find a certain item, resulting in her jumping into the box. She came out with a chew hide, one of the dozen she has floating around the house.
What does your cake topper look like?

oooooh, super cute! 
I once covered the toes of my rollerskates with rhinestones, it took forever.
The cake topper turned out great. Love that your doggie buried her bone in her toy box. She is so cute, her own toy box.
The doggie pics got me. I love it. The one of her up on her hind legs peering into the box makes me squeal its so cute.
Aww I love the puppy pics. My dog does the same thing with her toy box, and if she can’t reach what she wants, she barks at it until I dump everything out on the floor for her to pick through.
Lovely cake topper, too
Even though I’ve delegated the task of choosing the cake to my Mom, we’re probably going to go with a Monogram Cake Topper too. I never thought of jazzing it up like that. Very cute!
oh my gosh!! this is such a great idea! i’ve been looking at the ones already done and they don’t fit in my budget and i’ve been wondering what to do! now i know!! thanks!!
wow looks like a lot of work but looks great.
We went with a monogram from Wedding Cuts, as well. It was because our cake vendor only uses toppers ordered through them…and they use WC as one of their “topper” vendors, but I really liked the variety of monograms that they have.
Although we didn’t use Scriptina for our topper, we did use it in nearly all of our stationery. I love it.
I love the way the rhinestones came out- my friend customized her monogram cake topper in a similar way and she found it kind of difficult to make the crystals look nice and neat (and not jumbled). I found a nice affordable full crystal monogram cake topper at WeddingCollectibles.com for about $30.00….
[...] 6. Decorate to your liking. I used paper scrap booking flowers and rhinestones left over from my monogram cake topper. [...]
[...] Last but not least, we stopped into Publix to order the wedding cake. I love Publix cake. Publix has the best buttercream frosting and moist cake. We ordered a beautiful 3-layer ivory cake with pink roses and orange dots to match our monogram topper. [...]

Are you interested in selling your topper you made? It is the colors of my wedding and I have been looking like crazy online and haven’t found anything this good! My wedding is in a week….let me know. Thanks so much!
Hobby Lobby has hanging letters is black.. we are going to spray paint gold and then attach stones and then put a large spray of “bling beads behind” for a “bursting effect” The letter was 1.99 with 1/2 off.
