As a seasoned crafter with years of experience creating custom wedding decor, I recommend this simple, budget-friendly wire cake topper for a truly personal touch on your big day.
You'll need 16-gauge black wire, forged steel jewelry pliers, wire cutters, and a printed text template. Print the template here.
Cut the wire to 10 times the length of your template. Using the jewelry pliers, carefully bend and shape each cursive letter to match. Add a creative flourish like a heart dotting the "i" for extra romance.
Continue shaping letter by letter with the pliers until complete. Trim the excess with wire cutters, leaving 3-4 inches at the base to securely insert into your cake.
