Likeness
Why your cake topper will not look like you
Every maker optimises the front view. Walk around the cake and the resemblance falls apart, clay and 3D print alike.
Read the guideSize and weight
The size problem nobody mentions
The best-scoring toppers were 18–20 cm tall and half a kilo. Measure your top tier before you order.

How we tested
The rig, the scoring rubric, what we paid for, and where this study is weak.
Read the guideHow this was paid for
We paid full retail for every unit, as ordinary customers, and no vendor knew they were being compared. Everything here traces to a receipt, a measurement, or a photograph you can look at yourself.
