Yeah that happened to my mom when she married my step-dad. She had a Cinderella one that was made specifically to be a cake-topper and it was way way too heavy. So we just put it on the table.

Re: Cake toppers...too heavy??
It's definitely too heavy to put on top of the cake. My friend has a similar one and by the cake cutting they were up to their knees. Talk to your baker, most can put a pedestal into the cake under the icing to hold up the statue.

my mom already bought me the Cinderella Cake Topper. However, it is very heavy so we will probably just put it next to the cake.

My friend had a pedestal put inside the cake to support their cake topper. It worked out great! I plan to do the same.

I received that cake topper as an engagement gift. I definately am not going to put it on the cake. It's way too heavy. We'll probably put it on the cake table next to the cake.

My baker is putting supports through the cake, so the cake can support my heavy topper

Re: Cake toppers...too heavy??
my cake topper was on top, then fell and hit every tier on the way down . So they stuck a flower on top and put the topper to the side. Oh and turned the cake so you couldn't see the mess the topper made. Luckily I am a mellow person so I didn't care.

We did a cupcake tier so they put the cake topper next to it. It looked beautiful!

Re: Cake toppers...too heavy??
Thanks girls, I am going to see if they can do the pedastal thing because I really want my cake topper on top of the cake. I have so much time, so maybe I will find a lighter one that I like.

I have heard that some cake toppers are too heavy to put on top of cakes? Is that true?
I really like the Lenox Swept Away but it is kind of heavy and I dont want to put it on my registry if I cant put it on top of my cake.
i used this. it was too heavy for the top of the cake. because of this, they took it down and put it next to the cake.
it was beautiful!

Re: Cake toppers...too heavy??
This is the cake topper I want (first one) Second is one FH likes (just kidding around)
The first looks really light so I am hoping that they can have it on the cake.
