Photo cake topper FAQs
FAQ
What kind of photos work best?
Front-facing portraits with good lighting, one person per image. Selfies and phone photos work great.
How many toppers come in each pack?
It depends on the pack you choose: 3, 5, or 10 faces. Each face generates two print pages (4-up and 8-up).
Are my photos safe?
Yes. Photos are processed securely and deleted after a short retention window. We never share them with third parties.
Can I use photos of children?
Yes, with the responsible adult's consent. By uploading you accept the Terms of Service.
What paper should I print on?
We recommend 65-80 lb (176-216 gsm) cardstock so the toppers stay firm.
What if my photo doesn't turn out well?
You can replace the photo before confirming your order. If the result isn't right, check our refund policy.
