Top 5 Birthday Cakes for Your Little Princess

When it comes to your little girl or boys birthday nothing will do but the best. Here at Topperland we share the same view which is why we personalise each and every Topper so that you are completely happy with the design. However what good is the perfect princess’ cake topper without a cake fit for royalty?

Here are our top 5 birthday cakes (and where to get them!) to help you make your little girl’s day completely perfect.

1.       The Fairy Castle Cake:


It’s pretty, it’s pink and it has your little girls’ name on it! (Topperland is suddenly incredibly jealous) it also serves 48 and is a bargain at £45 from Marks and Spencer.  

2.       The Pink Elephant


This Cross Eyed Pink Elephant is almost too cute to eat! With a choice of chocolate, buttercream or lemon flavour and costing £25 we fell in love!  Sarah’s Cakes is always great for a bargain!

3.       The Hunny Pot




We love this Hunny Pot cake soooo much with the little icing bumblebee’s and inclusive cupcakes it’s adorable on so many levels!  At £95 it’s pretty pricey but totally worth it!

4.       
 This Carriage Cake is pure girly glory!  With the sweet sweet sugar mice and the ruffles and the pink it’s ADORABLE and at £45 it’s a real steal!

5.       Finally why not check out this cute as a button Pink Pony Cake  which is so adorable it made us at Topperland weep.

Weird and Wacky Wedding... Dresses

In our third instalment of our weird and wacky series we’re looking at dresses!  We’ve seen some gorgeous dresses when we’ve been designing Toppers but we have yet to come across any strange looking dresses.
Without further ado here are our favourite wacky dresses!

1.       The balloon dress
Whatever you do DON’T sit down.

2.       The Goth Wedding Dress

Don't feel like following tradition why not try a black dress?

3.       The Vegas Showgirl

Are YOU brave enough?
4.       The “fairy princess”


Officially not just for little girls
5.       The Flinstones Wedding Dress

Not the most glamourous of gowns but still fun and cute


We at Topperland can design your Topper to make sure your perfect dress is captured forever. Why not let us know your ideas by getting in contact?

Weird and Wacky Wedding... Cakes

Here at Topperland we’ve decided that we want to see more weird and wacky wedding stuff (after
yesterday’s theme weddings post we fell in love with odd weddings) so we thought we would dedicate today’s post to our favourite topic…. Cake.

So just remember we can make any Topper you’d like so you can have your perfect wedding cake… Whatever your style!

SO without further ado here are our Top 5 wacky wedding cakes!

1.       The Doughnut Cake

Though this may not be the classiest cake in the world it will certainly keep guests happy! We love this idea almost as much as we love doughnuts!

2.       The Scrabble Wedding Cake

Definitely fits in with wacky but it’s so beautifully created and holds a very sweet (geddit) message.


3.       The Star Trek Cake


                           
We love this idea – it would fit right in at a Star Trek wedding!

4.       The Bride Wedding Cake


Ladies… What more do you want on your special day than a life size effigy of yourself in the medium of cake?

5.       The Gamers Cake


Because you’re hardcore!

So remember Topperland for all of your Topper needs and we'll be happy to help you.

5 wacky weddings we love



Here at Topperland we LOVE a good wedding and we especially love weird and wacky weddings. So here are some of our favourites that we’ve found.
Remember if you’re have a wacky wedding or something a little more traditional then we can cater for everyone!
       


    1.          The Zombie Wedding
Are you feeling ghoulish? Do you want to love your spouse beyond death and more than harvesting brains? This is the wedding for you!



2.     The Pirate Wedding
We love this idea! Both of you get to be a swashbuckling hero for the day and needless to say you can “walk the plank” instead of down the aisle…


3.      The Superhero Wedding
Love wearing spandex costumes? Well it’s not just for the wedding night anymore guys!


4.      The Steampunk Wedding
Steampunk is an alternative fashion culture that has really taken off and with such a beautiful look to it, it’s no wonder that people are looking at having a steampunk wedding.
5.        

      The Sci Fi Wedding
We love looking at a good sci fi wedding. Especially when everyone really makes an effort with their costumes!
 

So remember when you're choosing your wedding theme to contact us and we can make a wedding cake Topper to suit it!

What are your favourite themes for weddings? Why not write us a comment and let us know?

It's Party Time! (Don't Panic)



Here at Topperland we know how parents feel when you’re faced with your child’s birthday party. When did it become the social event of the season?

 However when faced with the dreaded “supermum” (you know the kind – scarily efficient and never a hair out of place) you know that you’re going to have to pull something really special out of the bag.
Are you hyperventilating yet?

Don’t worry because Topperland is on hand to help with our guide to making a party that won’t soon be forgotten (by the mum’s anyway because let’s face it the kid’s won’t remember it the following week).

So without further ado please see our guide to the perfect kid’s party.


Size is Key
When planning a children’s party just remember that the size of the party is crucial don’t invite too many children to a small venue because there will be havoc and you’ll only end up with something getting broken.  We suggest no more than ten or fifteen children as it could end up a disaster!


Leave enough room to breathe at least so they can blow out the candles!

Be Prepared

Remember that you’re going to need lots of activities and games to keep the kids busy. Arm yourself with colouring books and pencils too for those that don’t want to join in with the games. Here are some great websites for game ideas:

http://www.activityvillage.co.uk/party_games_and_activities.htm


Pass the parcel is a classic for a reason…

How Many Mouths to Feed?
Make sure you have plenty of food to go round. Before you buy the food for the party remember to check with parents if there are any allergies you should know about and/or any foods they won’t eat. Try and make sure that there is a good balance of treats and healthy food as you really won’t appreciate ten screaming hyperactive little monsters demons  children.


I scream you scream….

Check out these great ideas for feeding the kids fairly cheap

It may not be gold but at least it’s yellow… and edible!

Theme?
Is your kids party theme going to be kids running around screaming? Or will it be kids running around screaming dressed as a pirate/fairy/alien or anything else that defies understanding?  If so why not take a look at these handy websites for ideas. The best advice though is pick a theme which will be easy to achieve!

Keep them busy!
Remember that terrifying clown at your childhood best friend’s birthday party? Yes? Still have nightmares? If the answer is yes then chances are that you’ve considered and rejected birthday party entertainment.  If the answer is no then here are some fantastic links to brilliant birthday party entertainers!

Go on admit it you sort of want it to pop don’t you?

The Cake
The most important part of any children’s birthday party…  At least in Topperland’s (in no way at all biased) opinion the cake should not only feed all the kids at the part but should also leave enough left over for the kid’s to each take home an extra piece (usually consumed guiltily by mummy or daddy).

So to make the cake look even more fantastic why not invest in one of our child friendly birthday cake Toppers! Take a look at what we can do and let us know what you think!

P.S. One last thing… Why not invite some of these “supermums” to help chaperone? Let them share the joy of helping watch the kids!
