Wedding Cake Toppers– The Icing on the Cake
Every wedding must have a cake just like every cake must have a wedding cake topper. This is just the way it goes. Wedding cake toppers have always been part and parcel with the wedding cake but did you know that in times past the top tier of the cake was kept to be used at the christening of the couple’s first child? True, true but since then this tradition has changed somewhat and now many people keep this part of the cake for their first anniversary. While this is a sweet idea I think that I would rather have a slightly fresher cake myself. Wedding cake toppers are the piece de resistance of the whole cake ensemble. This is what will set of the whole effect of your wedding cake so put a little thought into the top of you cake.
Many people go with the tired
old plastic bride and groom but this has no imagination, no creativity to it.
Try something fresh and new, something a little less…plastic. Flowers are always
a beautiful choice for the top of a cake. They are pretty and easy to get all
year round.
Consider using edible flowers, perhaps you can even have them
sugared for extra flavor. That always looks fantastic and you can get flowers in
all shapes, sizes and colors so no matter what type of icing you use you will be
able to find flowers to match. If you are having summertime wedding, fresh fruit
would be perfect. There are so many fruits that you could use, strawberries,
peaches, kiwi, the color combinations are endless. If you know what you would
like to see atop your cake but you cannot seem to find it anywhere you should
get in touch with a place that makes customized wedding cake toppers. There are
many different places such as this around. You will be able to get them to make
anything you little heart desires. If you want a puppy on the top of your cake
they can do this for you. And then you can keep it forever as a wonderful
keepsake.
Tip: The Best and most
unique Wedding topper is one that reflects both of you.
Have you heard of figurines that look just like you. These are created with your
