Cake Toppers That Make Every Celebration Personal
ABC Cake Decorating Supplies is a family-owned cake decorating retailer at 2853 E Indian School Rd, Phoenix, AZ, serving home bakers and hobbyists across the Greater Phoenix metro area since 1965 — and custom cake toppers are one of the most personal products we carry.
A cake topper is the decorative piece — a name cutout, a figurine, a character, or a custom design — that sits on top of a finished cake and ties the whole celebration to the person being honoured. Weddings, quinceañeras, birthdays, baby showers, graduations, and retirement parties all call for a topper, because it's often the most photographed element on the table. Getting it right means choosing something specific, not generic — and that's where a topper earns its place on the cake.
When you come in, our staff walk you through the options: character pieces, name cutouts, edible photo toppers, 3D-printed designs, and novelties. We'll talk through the size of your tier — a topper that looks great on a 10-inch cake can easily overwhelm a 6-inch one — and confirm personalisation details like name spelling, date, and theme before anything is ordered. You leave with the right choice, not a guess.
Novelties for Every Occasion
Time-Sensitive, In Stock, In Phoenix
Cake decorating novelties are specialty add-ons that turn a plain cake into a celebration centerpiece. They include figurines, themed toppers, edible decorations, and character pieces — the kind of details that make a cake feel made for the occasion. A construction truck on a toddler's birthday cake. A mortarboard on a graduation sheet cake. A bride and groom figurine on a wedding tier. The need is real, the event is fixed, and the timing doesn't give you much room to figure it out as you go.
ABC Cake Decorating Supplies stocks a broad range of cake novelties at its Phoenix, AZ store, and our staff know the inventory well enough to match the right piece to your cake format and occasion. You'll leave with something that actually works — not a guess you discover is wrong after the cake is already iced.

Questions About Cake Toppers and Novelties
ABC Cake Decorating Supplies staff answer these questions in store every day — here are the most common ones from Phoenix-area bakers.
How far in advance do I need to order a custom cake topper?
Custom cake toppers at ABC Cake Decorating Supplies typically require 3 to 5 business days of lead time, depending on the design complexity and whether 3D printing is involved. If your event is less than a week away, call 602-224-9796 first — staff can confirm current turnaround and check whether a stock option meets your needs.
What is the difference between an edible and a non-edible cake topper?
Edible cake toppers — including edible photo toppers and sugar decorations — are made from food-safe materials and can be eaten as part of the cake. Non-edible toppers are decorative food-safe pieces designed to be removed before serving. Both are available at our Phoenix store; staff can advise which suits your project.
What size cake topper works best for a 6-inch versus a 10-inch tier?
As a general guide, a topper spanning 3 to 4 inches works well on a 6-inch tier without overwhelming it, while a 10-inch tier can carry a 5 to 6 inch piece comfortably. Scale is the most common sizing mistake home bakers make — bring your tier dimensions to the store and staff will help you match proportions correctly.
Can I bring my own photo to use on an edible cake topper?
Yes. ABC Cake Decorating Supplies produces edible photo cake toppers from customer-supplied images. Bring a high-resolution photo to the store or call ahead to discuss file format requirements. Staff will walk you through size options and print quality so the finished topper looks sharp on your cake.
Do cake decorating novelties need to be removed before the cake is cut?
Most plastic and resin novelty pieces are food-safe but not intended to be eaten — they should be removed before serving. Edible novelties made from sugar or wafer paper can remain on the cake. At our Phoenix store, every novelty is clearly labelled, and staff can confirm edibility for any piece before you purchase.
