AtaNova personalised cake topper with custom engraved text

Personalised Cake Topper Buying Guide

Choose a personalised cake topper by checking the product facts first: the wording must stay concise, the selected material must remain visible against the cake, and the approximately 18 × 12 cm topper must suit the cake and event setup. AtaNova’s standard options are Natural Wood, White Acrylic, Gold Mirror Acrylic and Black Acrylic.

The Personalised Cake Topper — Custom Text is laser-cut to order with a name, age, date, initials or short custom wording. The personalised text forms part of the topper shape; it is not printed onto the surface.

What exactly are you buying?

  • Product: 1 personalised laser-cut cake topper
  • Approximate size: 18 × 12 cm; the final size can vary slightly with the design shape and text length
  • Personalisation: name, age, date, initials or short wording
  • Materials: Natural Wood, White Acrylic, Gold Mirror Acrylic or Black Acrylic
  • Design Proof: sent by email before laser cutting
  • Delivery: the complete order is delivered within 3–5 business days

Choose the material from the cake and event setup

Natural Wood

Choose Natural Wood for a warm, natural appearance. It works well with neutral, botanical and rustic styling. Grain and tone can vary slightly because wood is a natural material.

White Acrylic

Choose White Acrylic for a clean, bright and modern finish. It is especially useful when the cake or background is darker or strongly coloured.

Gold Mirror Acrylic

Choose Gold Mirror Acrylic for a reflective, festive accent. It suits weddings, engagements, anniversaries and milestone celebrations where warm metallic details are already part of the styling.

Black Acrylic

Choose Black Acrylic for strong graphic contrast, especially on white, cream, pastel or brightly coloured cakes.

For a deeper method for choosing the exact wording, contrast and visual style for the cake, use the companion guide How to Choose Cake Topper Wording, Material and Style. This buying guide stays focused on the physical product and ordering decision.

Keep the personalisation short enough for the topper

The standard product supports a name, age, date, initials, two names or a short message. Short wording generally creates the clearest and most structurally balanced result. Enter every capital letter, accent, punctuation mark, date and special character exactly as it should appear.

If the requested wording or shape falls outside the standard product, use Custom Projects & Bespoke Orders for a bespoke request.

Check the Design Proof before laser cutting

A digital Design Proof is sent by email before laser cutting. Check the spelling, age, date, initials, accents, punctuation, special characters and complete layout before approval. A small adjustment can be requested before production begins.

Once the approved design has entered production, the personalised wording can no longer be changed. For the wider order and approval process, see How It Works.

What is included?

  • 1 personalised cake topper with the approved wording
  • the selected material
  • protective packaging for delivery
  • any optional add-ons selected with the order

The Design Proof is digital and is not a physical item in the parcel.

Use, safety and care

The cake topper is decorative only. It is not edible and it is not a toy.

  • Have an adult place and remove the topper.
  • Hold it by a stable section rather than a fine letter or detail.
  • Insert the stem gently without forcing it.
  • Keep it out of reach of babies and young children.
  • Keep it away from open flames, direct heat and unprotected candles.
  • Remove it before cutting or serving the cake.
  • Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth.
  • Do not soak it or place it in a dishwasher.
  • Store it flat, dry and protected after the celebration.

Delivery and making

Each personalised cake topper is made to order, laser-cut and carefully checked in our atelier in Antwerp. The complete order is delivered within 3–5 business days, with tracking sent by email when the parcel is dispatched.

Review the Design Proof promptly so the order can continue without avoidable delay.
