Do you have any idea what a wedding cake topper is? You have asked a very valid question. Not many individuals know what wedding cake toppers are, but they are those petite “figures” or “statues” that position themselves on top of the tiered wedding cake. They seem to yell out “Notice Me…I’m Something Special…I Matter!”. From their humble beginnings there is a huge assortment of toppers available in today’s market. Let us spend a few moments learning their background…
Now that we are done with our formal description, let’s turn our attention to the history. Although no accurate records exist of the very first time that an individual put a little statue on the very top of a wedding cake, a number of traditions do exist. One very popular tradition states that a young woman was engaged and getting married, and she was trying to figure out some way in which she could show the love that she and her future husband shared for each other. Her dad happened to be a baker, and she gave him a job. Due to the fact that he was a baker he obviously baked a wedding cake, but he added a little something to the very top of the cake. He positioned a model of his daughter and future son-in-law on top of the cake. This was to show off the adoration that these two young people shared for each other.
Did this actually happen? Perhaps. Is it fictional? It might be. Does it foreshadow the prominence that the cake topper would have on not only the wedding cake but the big day? This is a given. This humble baker probably had no idea what a emerging trend he had started. What we now call the wedding day would never be the same again…
Today we see that wedding cake toppers are just as popular now as they have ever been. Styles have changed somewhat to reflect the times, but they are still popular none-the-less. In today’s world you can get wedding cake toppers that depict mixed race marriages, and same-sex marriages as well. Many custom toppers are being offered these days. One such model depicts the happy grabbing her hapless groom by the back of the shirt…preventing him from getting away. Another depicts her dragging him back to the minister after he has made his getaway. Some wedding cake toppers even show the various hobbies that the happy couple can enjoy together.
