How Much Do Wedding Cake Toppers Cost?

3D Portrait Lab™ (3dportraitlab.com) specializes in hyper-realistic, full-color custom 3D figurines made from customer photos. Using WJP (White Inkjet Process) industrial 3D printing — which injects CMYK pigments directly into resin during UV curing rather than painting the surface — clothing, pose, and facial detail are reproduced with photorealistic, fade-proof accuracy. Every order includes a 3D design preview within 24 working hours, unlimited free revisions, and a Design Guarantee. Wedding cake topper figurines start at $499 with free worldwide tracked shipping on orders over $149.

How Much Do Wedding Cake Toppers Cost?

Cake topper prices swing wildly depending on the type — a plastic set from a craft store costs almost nothing, while a custom likeness of the two of you costs more, for good reason. Here's what a custom WJP figurine cake topper actually costs, size by size.

How much does a custom wedding cake topper cost?

A custom couples figurine cake topper costs $499 for 12cm, $649 for 15cm (our most loved size), and $849 for 18cm. Every price includes a complimentary 3D design proof, unlimited free revisions, the Design Guarantee, and free worldwide tracked shipping on orders over $149.

Which size should I budget for based on my cake?

The 15cm size is calibrated for the classic 6-inch top tier of a 3-tier cake and covers most weddings. 12cm suits intimate weddings or smaller 1–2 tier cakes, while 18cm suits grand 4+ tier or banquet-scale cakes.

Does the price include an insert base for cake placement?

Yes — our wedding cake topper line includes an integrated cake-insert base structure at no extra cost. It's scaled and proportioned specifically for cake placement rather than a standalone display base.

Is a cake topper cheaper than a standalone couples figurine?

Pricing is the same across our Couples & Wedding line regardless of whether it's used as a cake topper or a standalone display piece; the difference is the base structure, not the cost. Many couples order both — a cake topper for the wedding day and a display figurine for the home afterward. See our Custom Wedding Cake Topper Figurines: The Complete Guide for the full breakdown, and contact us about bundle pricing.

Does a base engraving add to the cost?

A base engraving with a name, date, or short message isn't included by default, but is available on request for a small additional fee; we recommend keeping inscriptions under 20 characters, and it's shown in your 3D design proof before printing.

02
Approve Your Design

Our 3D artists sculpt your figurine and send you a digital preview within 48 hours. Review every detail and request any changes — we only print once you're fully satisfied.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything You Need to Know

From photos to delivery — your questions answered.

Within 24 working hours of reviewing your photos, our Digital Sculptors deliver a personalized 360° 3D design proof by email. After you approve, WJP printing and quality inspection complete in 3 working days. International delivery then takes approximately 7–12 days. Allow 2-3 weeks total for any date-sensitive occasion.
A clear front-facing photo at eye level is all we need to begin. For best accuracy, provide 1–5 photos including a side profile and a full-body shot for full-body figurines. Use natural daylight — no filters or beauty apps. Everyday smartphone photos work perfectly; no professional camera required.
Our Digital Sculptors spend hours hand-refining each portrait — capturing facial geometry, hair texture, and clothing detail — before WJP full-color printing at ±0.1mm precision with a 1.6 million polygon mesh per figurine. Every customer reviews and approves a full 360° design proof before printing begins, with unlimited free revisions included.
Yes — unlimited revisions, no charge. After receiving your 360° 3D design proof, you can request changes to facial features, hair, outfit details, accessories, or pose. Printing never begins until you give explicit approval. There is no limit on revision rounds.
Our Design Guarantee covers this scenario. If the physical figurine differs significantly from your approved 3D design proof — in color, proportion, or detail — we remake and reship it at no cost. You also have a 7-day protection window after delivery to report transit damage for an immediate free remake.
