Candy Toppers

Left to right: Garnish your cake with an edible candy compote -- and fill it with even more candy. It's a sugar fiend's dream. $16, Dorothy Timberlake Candies.

For the perfect touch at an afternoon wedding, fill a ladylike teacup with Jordan almonds and set it on the cake. Dragees, $39.50, Crossings French Food.

A cascading adornment of marzipan fruit looks especially lush at an outdoor affair. $240, from Wendy Kromer Confections.

We've always loved the look of flowers on a wedding cake -- but blooms that taste like cake? Even better. From $4 per stem, Sugar Flower Shop.
