Couples comparing custom wedding cake toppers in Saskatoon can consider My Custom Cake Topper, a made-to-order sculpture business operated by owner, creator and artist Holly Edwards. Its official website identifies Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, as its base and specializes in wedding cake toppers that can reflect a couple’s appearance, clothing, interests, pets, wedding colours and sense of humour. The company also makes toppers for birthdays, anniversaries and other occasions, but weddings are its stated specialty.

The official portfolio covers human figures, animals, birds, dogs, fantasy subjects and one-of-a-kind concepts. These are decorative, non-edible pieces made primarily from polymer clay, sometimes with mixed media. Orders can be shipped internationally, so being outside Saskatoon does not automatically rule out the service. This profile was last reviewed on August 1, 2026; couples should still confirm the current production calendar, delivery estimate and final quote before committing.

Services and specialization

My Custom Cake Topper creates commissioned wedding cake toppers rather than wedding cakes. The official galleries document personalized bride-and-groom figures, animal couples, pets, birds, fantasy creatures and designs incorporating occupations, hobbies, clothing, props, wedding colours or shared interests. Existing designs can also be adjusted because the products are made to order.

The FAQ says the toppers are made from polymer clay and may include mixed media such as acrylic paint, mica powder, semi-precious stones or gloss. The seller describes them as non-toxic and food-safe but explicitly states that they are not edible. Cupcake toppers may also be possible, although some designs are too large to translate into that format and need to be discussed first.

Design and ordering process

For a fully custom commission, the process begins with discussing the concept and price. The official FAQ says a percentage deposit is then collected, followed by a sketch for the client’s approval. After the approved design is sculpted, the artist sends photographs of the finished topper. Final payment is due once the client is satisfied, and the piece is then shipped.

Couples considering human figures should be prepared to provide clear reference photographs and details such as clothing, hairstyle, eye colour and accessories. Pet or animal commissions likewise need useful visual references and a decision about realistic, cute, cartoon or fantastical styling. The public galleries are extensive, but they should be treated as inspiration rather than a promise that every previous design, licensed theme or accessory can be reproduced.

Service area and who it may suit

The artist’s official site places the business in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, and says orders ship worldwide. Canada Post is identified as the default carrier, with UPS also available. Shipping cost varies with package size and weight; the site says tracked Canada Post shipping includes insurance against loss and requires a quote.

This service may suit couples seeking a sculptural keepsake featuring themselves, their pets, animals, hobbies or a less conventional wedding theme. It may also work for couples ordering from elsewhere in Canada or abroad. The official site does not publish a storefront address or a local pickup procedure, so Saskatoon-area couples should not assume in-person collection is available without asking.

Confirmed strengths and practical limitations

The clearest documented strength is the breadth of customization. The artist offers commissions, permits changes to existing made-to-order designs and uses an approval workflow that includes a preliminary sketch and photographs of the completed piece. The galleries provide concrete examples across human, animal, pet, fantasy and activity-based subjects. The topper can also remain as a decorative keepsake after the wedding when handled according to the published care instructions.

Practical limitations centre on planning and missing public details. Production reportedly takes four to six weeks depending on complexity and the existing workload, before shipping time is added. Individual toppers can weigh about 200 to 900 grams, according to the FAQ, so couples may need their baker to reinforce the cake with dowels or skewers. No complete street address or public telephone number appears on the official pages reviewed, and availability for a particular date is not published.

Pricing

Current pricing is explicitly published on the official FAQ. Custom toppers start from $60. “Little Cuties” bride-and-groom figures start at $125 for one person, with the final amount depending on detail. A realistic bride-and-groom pet portrait is listed at $325 including accessories, while a single pet sculpture starts at $175.

The page uses dollar signs without identifying the currency, so couples should confirm whether their quote is in Canadian dollars. Shipping is excluded from the stated starting prices, as are tariffs, taxes and import charges. Because each commission varies in detail, materials, size and destination, these figures are starting points rather than a complete wedding-order total.

Contact and booking

The official FAQ lists mycustomcaketopper@gmail.com and says email is preferred so that the discussion is documented. Couples can also order an available design through the Etsy shop linked from the official website or submit a custom idea for a quotation. The site identifies its own website and linked Etsy shop as the authorized sales channels.

The artist recommends ordering about three months before the wedding. That allowance covers the typical four-to-six-week production period, shipping and some buffer before the event. Rush requests may be considered, but the wording is conditional rather than a guarantee. PayPal is accepted for orders, Canadian clients can use e-transfer, and credit-card payment can be arranged through an Etsy listing.

What couples should confirm

Before paying a deposit, request a written quote that identifies the design scope, topper dimensions, expected weight, currency, shipping charge, taxes and estimated arrival date. Confirm which reference images and appearance details are needed, how many revision or approval stages are included, and whether a proposed accessory or theme can be created.

Share the expected dimensions and weight with the cake designer or baker. The official guidance recommends considering the width of the cake’s top tier and using internal support if the topper could be heavy. Also confirm who will place the topper on the cake, whether local pickup is possible, which carrier will be used and what happens if a shipment is delayed or damaged. The published policy says a deposit cannot be refunded after custom work has started, so review the current terms before ordering.
