Glitzy wedding cake Jewelry is a fairly new trend! Bling on cake makes the layers stand out and defines the look. Couples are opting for these fancy cake toppers which usually stands three inches to five inches high on the top tier of the cake. Often these are the couples initials made from Swarovski crystals and glitter at the reception.

If initials are included on the side of the cake, order them a bit smaller than a single letter in the center. If that isn’t possible, be sure to sink the side initials a little deeper into the cake and let the middle letter stand up a bit higher, just to offset them for visual interest.

The letters are anchored to thin spikes that will plunge into the top layer of the cake. The letters will look fine by themselves on the cake, or with flowers along their base. Just make sure the flowers don’t rest directly on the cake. Accent the rest of the tiers additional loose crystals and bling for a completed look.

Jewels are easy to find online, at wedding shops, or at bakeries.
