And, the cake—undoubtedly the centerpiece of the festivities—deserves a crowning glory that is as remarkable as this milestone. That's where our first birthday cake toppers come in.

What are First Birthday Cake Toppers?

First birthday cake toppers are the cherries on top of the celebration. These gorgeous adornments are designed to sit at the peak of your birthday cake, adding an extra layer of charm, style, and personalization to your sweet centerpiece. They can be simple numbers, beautiful statements, or elaborate designs that suit your baby's first-ever birthday party theme.

Our collection of first birthday cake toppers is as diverse as the beautiful babies celebrating their first year. We understand that each celebration is unique, and we've created a range of toppers to cater to every style:

Using First Birthday Cake Toppers: A Step-by-Step Guide

Using a first birthday cake topper is a piece of cake—literally! Here's a simple guide to get you started:

1. Choose Your Topper:

The first step is selecting the topper that best suits your celebration. Consider the theme, colors, and style of your party, as well as the size and design of your cake.

2. Prepare Your Cake:

Bake and decorate your cake as planned. Keep in mind where you'd like the topper to sit and ensure there's enough space for it.

3. Place the Topper:

Once your cake is ready and fully cooled, you're ready to add your selected topper. For denser cakes, we recommend making a small hole using a clean skewer where you want your topper to sit - this will make inserting the topper easier and avoid any damage to it or your cake. Gently push the spike or base of the topper into the top of the cake, ensuring it's securely positioned and upright. Now step back and marvel at your beautiful, personalised birthday cake!

4. Admire Your Handiwork:

Step back and admire your beautiful cake with its stunning topper! It's ready to serve as the centerpiece of your celebration and a fantastic backdrop for those all-important birthday photos.

Safety Note:

Our first birthday cake toppers are designed to add a touch of magic to your celebration. However, they're not toys and should be kept out of reach of children. When positioning your topper, please ensure it's safely away from any candles or other flammable decorations. Before serving your delicious cake, don't forget to carefully remove the topper.

After the celebration, wipe down the spike of your cake topper with a damp cloth to remove any icing or crumbs. Once clean, store it safely ready for its next grand appearance. While our cake toppers are sturdy, they're not indestructible, so handle with care to avoid any breakages. These simple steps will ensure your cake topper is ready to party another day!

In Conclusion

A first birthday party is an event filled with joy, love, and maybe a little bit of cake smashing! Our first birthday cake toppers are designed to add to this joy and create a memorable centerpiece for your celebration. So here's to your little one's first year, and here's to many more beautiful milestones ahead, each as unique and special as the last.
