Basic Layers vs Lux Layers: Which Cake Topper Option Is Right for You?
When it comes to choosing the perfect cake topper for your special event, you want something that not only complements your celebration but also leaves a lasting impression. At Alathea Design, we offer two incredible options—Basic Layers (Thin) and Lux Layers (Thick & Intricate) —both designed to make your cakes stand out. But what’s the difference between the two? Let’s break it down so you can choose the perfect style for your occasion!
What Are Basic Layers?
Our Basic Layers cake toppers are the ideal option for those looking for simplicity and affordability without compromising on style. These toppers are printed designs layered to create depth, offering a clean and polished look. While they don’t have the textured or intricate effects of our Lux Layers, they’re still visually stunning and perfect for events where simplicity is key.

Features of Basic Layers:
- Layered printed designs for a clean and sleek finish.
- Lightweight and affordable.
- Perfect for straightforward or minimalistic cake designs.
If you’re after a cake topper that’s budget-friendly but still makes a statement, Basic Layers are a fantastic choice.
What Are Lux Layers?
If you’re looking for something extra special with intricate details and standout textures, our Lux Layers cake toppers are the ultimate option. These toppers are crafted with textured cardstock, making them thicker, more durable, and visually striking. About 80% of the design features textured elements, creating a sophisticated and high-quality finish. But that’s not all—Lux Layers come with additional features and variations to suit your unique needs.

Key Features of Lux Layers:
- Made from thick, textured cardstock for a premium look and feel.

What Makes Lux Layers Special?
The Lux Layers collection offers customisation options that make your topper not just a decoration, but an experience.
Shaker Effects:
A shaker adds a snow globe-like effect to your cake topper, using glitters, foam balls, or beads that move when shaken. It’s fun, playful, and adds a unique dimension to your cake topper. Whether you’re celebrating a child’s birthday, a baby shower, or any special event, the shaker effect gives your topper a vibrant and festive feel.
LED Lights:
Looking for a topper that truly stands out? Lux Layers can be enhanced with LED lights, which illuminate and flash when activated. This feature is exclusive to the Lux Layer collection and is a favorite among kids and adults alike. LED lights add a magical element, ensuring your cake is the centerpiece of the celebration.
