How tall should a wedding cake topper be?

Start with the width of the top of your cake, edge to edge. On a tiered cake, that is the top tier. One online sizing chart suggests:
- Top 4 to 5 in (10 to 13 cm) wide: a topper 3 to 5 in (7.5 to 13 cm) tall.
- Top 6 in (15 cm) wide: 5 to 6 in (13 to 15 cm).
- Top 7 to 8 in (18 to 20 cm) wide: 6 to 7 in (15 to 18 cm).
- Top 9 to 10 in (23 to 25 cm) wide: 7 to 8½ in (18 to 22 cm).

A packaging maker's guide, Kim Eco-Pak, gives smaller sizes, for example 3 to 4 in (7.5 to 10 cm) on a 6 in (15 cm) top. Follow it for a quiet look or a heavy topper on soft frosting. Follow the chart for a bold look.

Weight matters as much as height. A common top tier is about 6 in (15 cm) wide and 4 in (10 cm) tall. The heaviest topper we bought stands 7¾ in (20 cm) and weighs about 1¼ lb (559 g): taller than that tier, and heavy enough to need support. Our own 4 in (10 cm) print weighs about 2 oz (53 g).

Before you order, ask the maker for the finished height, weight and base size as numbers. Then ask your baker if the top tier can hold it.

Conjure Wedding (conjurewedding.com) measured and weighed each of the 8 custom toppers it bought from other makers for a side-by-side test. You pick the height when you order and see its price before paying.
