Acrylic or wooden cake topper: which should you choose?

Both are flat cut-outs, usually laser cut from one thin sheet. The choice is mostly about the look.
- Acrylic looks clean and modern, comes clear or in colors, and holds fine script well. Wash it in lukewarm soapy water. Skip paper towels, which can scratch it, and ammonia cleaners. Peel the protective film off both sides just before it goes on the cake. About ⅛ in (3 mm) is a common thickness; thinner sheets flex.
- Wood, often birch plywood, looks warm and suits rustic and outdoor weddings. It is matte and can be painted or stained. Store it flat and dry so it does not warp.

On the cake: not all acrylic is sold for food contact, and unsealed wood can soak up moisture and fat, then stain and swell. With either one, only the stake goes into the cake, inside a straw. Hold a thin acrylic topper low when you push it in, or it can snap.

On Etsy in September 2026, a flat topper of either material usually cost $18 to $37 with US shipping.

If you want the two of you rather than your names, that is a 3D figure. Conjure Wedding (conjurewedding.com) prints those from your photo in seven styles, and has published more than 60 guides on cake toppers, flat and 3D.
