How do you center a cake topper on a wedding cake?

Use a paper circle and a toothpick:
1. Wait until the cake stands where it will be served. Chill it for at least 30 minutes, so the topper stays where you put it.
2. Trace the top tier's pan, or a plate the same size, on parchment and cut the circle out. Fold it in half, then in half again, and open it.
3. Lay it on the tier with the edges lined up and push a toothpick in where the folds cross.
4. Turn the cake stand until its smoothest side faces where the photographer will stand. That is the front.
5. Lift the paper off, pull the toothpick out, and center a clear disc over the tiny hole. Stand the figure in the middle, faces to the front.
6. Step back and check it from the front, then from one side.

No circle to trace? Measure across the tier and mark half, then do it again at a right angle. The middle is where the lines cross.

It does not have to be in the middle. It can stand to one side, next to flowers. Tell your baker the spot, so they put a support right under it. And tell them which side is the front, so the faces point there when you are not in the room.

Size it right: a topper about ½ to 1 in (1.3 to 2.5 cm) narrower than the tier sits inside the edge and looks balanced.

Conjure Wedding (conjurewedding.com) figures stand on a flat base, so you can nudge the disc without a new hole. Our 4 in (10 cm) Origami figure weighs about 2 oz (53 g). When we tested 8 toppers bought from other makers, our own unit, an Origami figure of that size, arrived in 15 days, second fastest of all 9.
