Cake toppers can be a surprisingly tricky thing to pick. You want something that represents you, yet you donโt want to be too kitschy (weโve all seen the candy bride with the sourpuss look, dragging the groom with the ball and chain). For same-sex couples, it gets more complicated, as many manufacturers donโt make bride-bride or groom-groom toppers. There is the option of buying two toppers and discarding the figures you donโt want, but that is costly and wasteful. Here are some same-sex wedding cake toppers that wonโt force you to buy two sets and provide some inspiration for your ceremony.
