Anniversary cake topper
An anniversary cake topper can be a year number or a small figure of the couple. This guide shows how to get a figure that looks like the two of you.

The simplest topper is lettering, like "Happy Anniversary", or the number of years. Party guides also suggest a small figure of the couple, or a photo of the two of you printed on the cake.
Ready-made couple figures look the same for everyone. A figure made from your photo looks like the two of you. After the party, it stays as a keepsake.

The photos to upload
The two of you today, head to toe.The upload page has 3 areas. The couple photo goes in the middle. We build your topper from it. Each side takes an optional outfit photo, one per partner.
- Both of you side by side, head to toe, facing the camera.
- Faces sharp and bright, with room around you.
Today's clothes or your wedding clothes
Without outfit photos, the figure wears the clothes from your couple photo. Add a photo of each outfit you want to change, and the figure wears that instead.
His suit from the wedding day
Her dress from the wedding daySome families recreate the look of the original wedding cake for an anniversary. The wedding clothes on the figure fit that idea. Use one photo per partner that shows the whole outfit, top to hem. From an old wedding photo, crop one picture per partner. A group photo does not work, because we cannot tell which outfit is whose.
How it works
1. Upload the photos
Add the couple photo and any outfit photos.
2. Pick a style and a pose
See previews in 7 styles. Keep the pose from your photo or pick one of 3 others. This part takes about 15 minutes.
3. Approve the 3D model
We sculpt the figure and show you the 3D model to check.
4. Pay, then we print and ship
You pay only after you approve the model.
A gift for your parents
You can order a figure of your parents yourself. Pick a photo of the two of them from the family album, head to toe. You design it yourself, so it can stay a surprise. Tell the baker a topper is coming.

Questions about anniversary toppers
- Can we use a photo from our wedding day?
- Yes. Put it in the middle as the couple photo. The figure then shows you as you look in that photo.
- Our wedding photo is old and a bit faded. Will it work?
- Upload it and look at the free previews before you decide.
- How far ahead should we order for the anniversary?
- Plan for about 4 weeks. The studio shows your delivery date before you pay, so you can check it against the day.
- Can it sit right on the cake?
- No. It is not food-safe. Ask your baker for a clear acrylic disc to set it on.
