Reusable cake props designed for photographers

The Trident Labs modular cake range has been created for photographers who want more flexibility, more variety and far more control over how their props look.

At the heart of the system is the Cake Body, available in a wide range of colour and finish options and designed to work with interchangeable magnetic icing, cake toppers, stands and accessories.

Instead of relying on a fresh real cake every time you want to change the colour, style or theme of a setup, you can mix and match individual components, add extra Cake Bodies in different looks, and build a collection that gives you far more flexibility.

Make it completely your own

Customisation is a huge part of the modular cake system.

Each component is available in a broad selection of colour and finish options, giving you the freedom to create everything from subtle coordinated setups to bold contrasting combinations.

Match the Cake Body to the icing. Choose a topper that blends into the design or deliberately stands out. Coordinate the whole setup around a studio set, client colour palette or seasonal theme.

Because the individual pieces are separate, you are never locked into one permanent combination. Change a single element for a subtle refresh, swap to a different Cake Body for a completely new base colour, or rebuild the whole cake around a different look.

And as new colours, finishes and accessories are added to the range, the possibilities keep growing.

Build your cake your way

If you are new to the range, our Build Your Own Modular Cake option gives you an easy starting point without having to work through every individual accessory first.

Choose your preferred cake, icing and topper combination and create a complete setup ready for photography.

If you already know exactly what you want, or want even more control over the finished design, the individual components are also available separately so you can create your own combination from the wider range.

Interchangeable icing, toppers and accessories

The magnetic design makes it easy to refresh the cake for different sessions.

Swap the icing for a different design. Change the topper for another character or symbol. Add a cake stand, raise the topper, create double-character combinations or build your own decorative icing using our DIY Rings.

Because the components are interchangeable, each Cake Body becomes part of a wider collection rather than a single fixed design. Keep a neutral option ready for almost anything, add bolder colours for specific sets, and combine them with different icing, toppers and accessories as your collection grows.

A practical alternative to real cakes

These reusable photography cake props are particularly useful for birthday, milestone and themed sessions where you want the visual impact of a decorated cake without needing to source a fresh one every time.

They can also be used as an alternative for cake smash-style photography where a real cake may not be suitable, helping you create a beautifully styled setup without the mess, waste or additional preparation.

Made for studio use

The range has been designed around the practical realities of photography.

Quick changes, reusable components, extensive customisation and compact storage all help you get more from the same collection.

The magnetic system makes it easy to experiment with combinations between sessions, while individual Cake Bodies and accessories can be added over time as your collection grows.

One system, countless looks

A traditional cake setup gives you one finished look at a time.

The modular cake system gives you a collection you can keep reinventing.

Go neutral for one shoot, colourful for the next. Switch Cake Bodies to change the foundation of the setup, match a client's styling, build around a seasonal set, coordinate everything perfectly or deliberately mix colours and finishes for something more playful.

The range is designed to give photographers creative control without requiring a completely new cake every time inspiration changes direction.
