I’m having a 3 tier wedding cake but do I have to have a wedding cake topper on each cake? It will be going on a swan cake stand.

Answer:

No, you do not need to have a topper on each cake.

This is really a matter of personal preference and it depends on the style of your cake.

If your cake will be iced without much detail, you may want to consider a topper for each tier to dress it up a bit.

An alternative is to have a little decoration on the side of each tier. Items to consider are fresh flowers, flowers made of icing, or fruit or bows.
