- Graduation: mortarboard, year, graduate's name
Tips for a professional result
Thickness: For standing cake toppers, use at least 3-4 mm thickness so they stay firm. For flat toppers (lying on the frosting), 2 mm is enough.
Height: Toppers for 3-tier cakes can go up to 20 cm without issues. The design auto-adjusts proportions.
Material: PETG or resin gives the best finish. If using PLA, make sure it's food-grade if touching the cake directly.
Pick: You can add a hole at the base of the design to insert a wooden or plastic pick. On KingsCutter this is configured with one click.

How big and in what material should a custom cake topper be?
A custom cake topper should measure between 7 and 20 cm depending on the cake size, and it should be printed in food-grade PETG if it will touch the dessert. That combination gives you a topper that stands firm, does not bend over the frosting and can be cleaned without falling apart. With AI the design is generated from an image or a text in seconds, and the file downloads as an STL ready to 3D print.
You do not need modeling skills: upload the image, choose Cake Topper as the product type and adjust the size in the 3D viewer. The most requested designs are name plus age, interlocked initials, pet silhouettes and company logos for events. If the topper is pushed into the cake, make sure the base has enough body to hold the design; if it rests on the surface, a thinner piece is enough.
Data and measurements
Figures you can verify before designing your topper:
| Item | Value | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Physical piece material | Food-grade PETG, safe for food contact | store.kingscutter.com product sheet |
| Available sizes | 7, 8, 9, 10, 13, 15, 17 and 20 cm | kingscutter.com catalog |
| Handle | Included with every physical cutter | store.kingscutter.com |
| Washing | Hand wash; dishwashers degrade PETG | Wash tests in our workshop |
| Product types | Cutter, stamp, stencil, cake topper, silicone mold, filled cookie kit, imprint cutter, sandwich cutter, texture roller, word mold, ejector and brigadeiro stamp | kingscutter.com |
According to our measurement in the workshop, the 7 to 20 cm range spans everything from cupcake toppers to large pieces for multi-tier cakes, and the jump between 10 and 13 cm is what changes the topper presence on the table the most. According to the wash tests we ran with PETG pieces, hand washing preserved the relief and the color, while a dishwasher degraded the surface. For a topper you reuse every year, that matters.
From design to table
The kingscutter.com library holds hundreds of designs across animals, names, sports and characters, and the first download is free and does not ask for a card. You can start from your own idea at design on kingscutter.com, and if the same drawing also works as a cutter, how to turn a photo into a 3D cutter explains the full workflow.
When you need the topper already printed and ready to place, the physical store ships to several countries. Subscription plans exist for people who design often, and the first download can be done free with no card just to test the result.
A cake is remembered by its centerpiece, and that centerpiece can come from your own idea in under a minute. That is what kingscutter.com does: it turns an image into the piece everyone looks at on the table.
