Unique Cake Toppers

It's no secret that I love cake. Everything about them is pure heaven, from their look to their taste. But the thing that really draws me to a cake is what's on them. Cakes are fun and exciting by themselves, but for some reason decorated cakes tastes so much better. Our minds are powerful tools. Image is everything. You may have two of the same cakes, one decorated, one not and I'm pretty sure you'd think the decorated one tastes better. That's our minds playing tricks on us. I do this all the time. Since it looks better, it might as well taste better. The easiest way to decorate a cake is by adding a topper. This is a simple yet inexpensive way to jazz up a cake without overdoing it and making it cheesy. When I say topper I'm not talking about the cheap plastic ones on birthday and wedding cakes. I'm talking about unique and creative toppers that are clean, bold and elegant.
