In the grand scheme of weddings, what goes on top of your cake is just one small detail amid hundreds of other tiny details. However this seemingly insignificant detail can have a big impact visually! We thought we’d share a few of our favorites and hopefully provide some inspiration for your cake topper!

Silhouettes are a sweet way to add a touch of refinement to your cake. These were designed by Simply Silhouettes , a company who will actually create a cake topper based on any picture you send them!

Of course if you’d rather show some state pride on your wedding day, these cake toppers can be custom ordered from Krafted Sweet Memories. Perfect for the bride who wants a little more rustic feel.

Who doesn’t want to show off their new married name as much as possible? This delicate cake topper made from muslin can be custom ordered to say just about anything. Like the look but prefer a short quote? Franny Chicago has a variety of font styles and sayings to truly help personalize your day.

Sticking with the banner style, if the muslin felt a little too down home for you, try this topper stylized like a chalkboard! Head over to The Paper Walrus to check out the various colors and sayings in this sweet style.

Moving away from the minimalist style, go big and bold with this cake topper made from recycled eucalyptus fiber board. You’ll be sure to catch everyone’s attention with a gorgeous saying such as “Happily Ever After”, “God Gave Me You”, or “The Best is Yet to Come”. Better Off Wed will also of course customize one with your initials or name in the same style.

This last cake topper is for the bride who just wants something different! Well, why not get a topper made by MilkTea who will create one just for you, gown and all. That’s right, if you send a picture of your wedding dress with your order, they will recreate a miniature version for the topper! All orders also come with standard customization (hair color/style, skin tone, ect).

Now of course these aren’t the only styles of cake toppers out there, but hopefully this has given you some idea of where to start!

This Lobster Mac and Cheese has a delicious balance of class and comfort, perfect for a night of cooking together. *Tip-This recipe makes approximately six servings, feel free to half it when making it for just you two*

Ingredients

• 1 pound any short cut pasta

• 9 tablespoons butter

• 1 clove garlic

• 1 pound cooked lobster meat, chopped

• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, plus more for garnish

• 1 1/2 cups crushed Ritz crackers (about 1 sleeve)

• 1/4 cup flour

• 3 cups whole milk

• 1 1/4 cups sharp white cheddar cheese, shredded

• 1 1/4 cups gruyere cheese, shredded

• 1 cup fontina cheese, shredded

• 4 ounces brie, rind removed and chopped

• 1/4 teaspoon mustard powder

• 1/4 teaspoon cayenne

• 1/4 teaspoon salt

• 1/2 teaspoon pepper

Directions

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Prepare baking dish with nonstick spray.
• Bring a large pot of water to boil. While waiting, crush crackers.
• Once boiling, allow pasta to cook until al-dente (usually will say on the box). Drain well.
• Melt 3 tablespoons of butter in a medium skillet. Add garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds. Add lobster meat and sauté for 3-5 minutes. Add parsley and cook for about 30 more seconds, then take lobster out of the pan.
• Add 2 more tablespoons of butter to the skillet, then toss in the crushed crackers to toast (3-5 minutes). Avoid burning by stirring often. Once done, set to the side.
• In the same pot you boiled the pasta, melt the remaining 4 tablespoons butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour. Reduce the heat to medium-low and let cook and bubble for 1 minute, stirring once or twice to avoid burning. Gradually whisk in the milk and raise the heat up to medium-high. Bring the mixture to a boil, whisking frequently until the sauce has thickened, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in all of the cheese, mustard powder, cayenne, salt and pepper. Stir until the cheese is fully melted. Stir in the pasta and about 3/4 of the lobster meat. Transfer to the prepared baking dish.
• Sprinkle crumbs and remaining lobster meat on top of the dish. Then place onto baking sheet.
• Bake for 20 minutes (when crumbs are golden brown, it’s done)
• Remove from oven and let sit for 5 minutes

We hope you enjoy making this recipe together as much as you’ll enjoy eating it!
