The Icing on the Cake…

January 13th, 2010 @ 9:39 am by Mrs. Buttons

OK, so perhaps this isn’t icing… but it does involve cake!

As much as I love the traditional little figurines that adorn the top of the wedding cake, I was looking for something a little different…

My obsession? Cute and adorable bird cake toppers! I scoured Etsy for some options… and I couldn’t decide!!! Here are some of my original inspirations…

Are you partial to any of these toppers in particular? What do you think about nontraditional cake toppers? Have you seen any cute ideas at weddings, or have you had a great one of your own?

I love the last one! But what does your cake look like? Mine is really complicated design-wise, so the last topper would be too much on the top. :( Those are all great, though! Can’t wait to see what you’ve picked.

I love the blue one with the lace! I am doing a bird wedding cake topper too, but mine is made out of porcelain.

@littlebug: I don’t have the cake designed actually! Haha…I’m planning the cake around the topper…

@ariellebride: Awww I love the last one: I hope it looks great!

@Jilian: So hard to choose!

@Miss Rainbow: They are so cute…I love cute…

@Ms. Library: Oooh I’d love to see what the porcelain birds look like!

I love the last one, so cute! My mom is folding us 1,001 paper cranes for our wedding, which we’ll have all over the reception as decoration, so our cake topper will be two paper cranes. Still birds, but a different kind.

I love the one by emiliefriday — it’s a little different, plus how can you go wrong with smooching birdies? :)

I love the last ones and the owls they do as well! We bought a cake topper that is similar to the “Circle of love” cake toppers. I didnt like the cake toppers with faces and colored hair because none of them looked like us so I wanted something with no face and no hair and these are all white porcelain.

PS…some of these are a little more weird than they are cute! LOL!

The little birdie toppers are SO CUTE. I had wanted to get one, but I had to remind myself that I actually hate birds. ;)

@chexmixDC: Wow…what a feat! Love it!

@Miss Sewing: Deciding is the hardest part…

@Miss Pug: Haha! I actually bought one that ISN’T pictured….and it is glorious

@Miss French Fries: @Miss Pretzel: @Miss Trail Mix: I agree! So darn cute…

@amanda.lynn: Oh no! :( I hope you find a topper you both like! :)

@D.Marie: I agree with you on wanting no faces on the toppers…if we went with human shaped ones, we definitely would have tried to find one like yours!

@Miss Pencils: The little nest pretty much kills me…

@KMSull: They have a ton of different varieties of them too - as if it wasn’t already difficult to pick one…

@Miss Spaniel: HAHA! I actually cringe around birds in real life (my uncle has a realllly mean African Gray parrot that terrified me as a kid)…but inanimate ones are totally fine…
