Awesome Cake Toppers: Gamers & Techies

Gamers & Techies. Yup, we're finally there! I know you've been dying to see some fun (and funny) cake toppers including your fav game & tech characters. So, put that controller down and take a gander at these.


 
Don't you just love Android? They sure do. 
I actually like the 2 green colors together on the cake.
  
   NotCot, Androids, Android Icon, Andrew Bell, SDCC, Cake Topper
This Android pair was made by artist Andrew Bell then customized at a Comic Con.
Andrew Bell teamed up with Google and members of Android™ to bring their mobile platform mascot to life in the form of a collectible miniature figure.
I admit these things are stinking cute! And for these prices, 
you could stick 'em all over your cake table!!
They offer it in 3" blank white for $6.50 (such as the ones used in the photos above),
3" standard green for $7.50, or blind boxed singles. If you would like to see more, click here.
(From the DZ site: Blind-box means that you don’t know what design is inside the box until you open it! No returns if you don't like it, picky. Not intended for small children as they contain small movable parts. And keep them out of your mouth, no matter how delicious they may look.)

Little Big Planet Sackpeople Toppers
These are truly awesome and custom made by Paul Pape.
He is enormously talented and creates some great items. See his wedding store page here.
He can make toppers of your Mii's, Xbox avatars, World of Warcraft, Nintendo, Disney, 
and other characters or Clay Imititations (you, in real life). Here is a small sampling below. 

While it might confuse Grandma, it will totally rock with your friends!
These are a bit on the pricey side but remember 
they're custom from beginning to end & you can display it forever after.
PS. He makes very cool engagement ring boxes. Why offer her ring in a plain jewelry store box when you can give her Doctor Who's Tardis!!

How funny is this Domo couple? Tons more animals & characters from the Air Castle on Etsy.


Pac-man finally weds his soul mate. She can finally change her name to Mrs. Pac-man.


 
Heading into the unknown together. Right thru the Stargate.


    
This couple hired a sculptor to create a non-edible top layer for their cake from their invitation art.
What a fun idea! They are Black Canary & Green Arrow, comic book characters in love!

With a little imagination & some thought about your likes/dislikes, you can have something truly unique too.
Whether it's edible or not, having an interesting cake or topper can start many guest conversations and make a great memory for everyone. Most of all, YOU!

Awesome Cake Toppers: Sporting & Lifestyles

Couples who enjoy sports together can show off their love of the game with fun toppers. Personalized couples or colors are sometimes available. Some couples use their favorite team's colors as their wedding theme colors too.

(Front view of couple show on right.)




"High Five" by Weddingstar.
Or turn these so they're side-by-side and they could be waving to the crowd!
Bride & groom sold separately.



 
Farm living is the life for me!
I could only find the one on the left in Britain, Ireland, Australia or New Zealand for some reason. (Why not in the U.S.?) It also comes in a red tractor. Love those trailing tractor tires which you can easily replicate.
You could use a couple topper like the one on the right and a tractor from the toy store as an alternative.
Or simply pop a farmer's hat or John Deere cap on your couple topper of choice.



Winter Skiing by Weddingstar.
All bundled up for a good shooosh in the snow.




Instead of searching for just a topper, why not make the whole cake incorporate your fav past time?
This couple is skiing their way down the cake. How fun is this?!
