- If you're planning to design a wedding cake, consider purchasing a unique or comedic wedding cake topper. Many online websites sell a variety of wedding cake toppers, including traditional, funny, multiethnic, sculpted and theme toppers.

Funny wedding cake toppers include couples toting guns, talking on separate cellphones, fishing, pinching one another's butts and playing sports, including hockey, golf, baseball and football. Cake toppers can also be purchased, with a specially sculpted faces that resemble the newlyweds.
- Cake toppers can also be purchased for cakes of all occasions. Microphone cake toppers, found online, resemble a real microphone and can be the perfect decoration for a musician's birthday. Mardi gras masks can also be purchased for mardi gras cakes, and religious icons can be purchased for religious parties or cakes made for church services or events. Cartoon character toppers are also sold for children's birthday cakes, and include Dora the Explorer, the characters from Sesame Street, Elmo, Mickey Mouse, the characters from Barney and Friends, Scooby Doo, Spongebob Squarepants, Superman, Snoopy and Barbie. These cake toppers are available online and in most craft and cake decorating shops as well.
- If you can't find a cake topper you like, or you'd like to make a cake topper from scratch, fondant can be used to mold into the perfect cake topper. Fondant is sold at most craft and cake decorating stores, and is similar to Playdoh in texture. Simply roll out the fondant, add dye and mold to blend, then shape into unique figures, such as people, flowers or decals. For winter cakes, consider rolling three balls of various sizes using white fondant, then dot using a food coloring pen to make the creature resemble a snowman. Use a strip of colored fondant as a scarf, and shape a piece of orange fondant into a cone for a carrot nose. Free online tutorials are available and will also guide you to make dog, baby, flower, baby block and other shaped fondant cake toppers.
