Etsy shop the Cat's Pajamas, owned by Lesley Wellington, has managed to create the perfect [wedding toppers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wedding-registry-1).

Lesley Wellington's cake toppers are perfectly coupled. With characters such as Mr and Mrs Tetromino (a Tetris-inspired pair) and Hazel and Horton (a [coffee mug and doughnut](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/helen-levi)), it is simply too hard to not fall in love with these cake toppers.

Lesley Wellington also comes up with stories to go alongside the toppers, such as Hazel and Horton's story, "They met at a party. She was the [freshest sweet roll](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/delicious-dessert-company) there, with pastry that would make any Danish or Cruller go green with envy. He didn't think she'd notice him. After all, Horton was just a regular run-of-the-mill cup of Joe, but something in his freshly brewed demeanor drew Hazel to him. The rest is history."

Lesley Wellington's cake toppers are the perfect pair to set on top of your cake and show the world your love.
