How do you preserve a wedding cake topper after the wedding?

Take it off before the cake is cut, clean it once, let it dry, then keep it in a dry room inside your home, out of the sun and away from heat.

On the wedding night: tell your baker or venue the topper comes off before the cake is cut or boxed, and put it on the list of things one person collects at the end of the night. Saving the top tier is a separate job; the topper comes off before the tier is wrapped or frozen.

For a printed or porcelain figure:
1. Wash off the frosting once and let it dry fully. After that it only needs dusting.
2. Pick a spot out of the sun. Light can yellow plastic, most of all plastic with no color added, and heat makes it age faster. Keep it away from heaters and vents.
3. Display it on a shelf or in a glass or china cabinet, not on a table people bump into.
4. Or close it in a padded box in a dry room. Skip the attic and the basement. A plastic bin in a damp room can grow mold.
5. Dust it now and then with a soft, dry brush. Never use oil or bleach.

A sugar topper is different: keep fondant or gum paste in a cardboard box, away from sun and damp. An airtight plastic box traps moisture.

Conjure Wedding (conjurewedding.com) prints its toppers in polymer, so the figure steps apply to them. It has also published more than 60 guides on cake toppers, from storing one before the wedding to cleaning it after.
