Toppers That Make the Cake

Remember the day when a traditional cake topper meant a Caucasian bride side-by-side with her Caucasian groom solemnly adorning the traditional fruitcake? Back then, the best you could hope for, in terms of expressing your individuality, was to find a ceramic couple whose hair were the same colors as your's and your intended’s.

Those days are long gone. Today's cake toppers can be as contemporary as the couples that choose them.

The most-kept memento from a multitude of wedding accessories, today’s cake toppers come in as many varieties as there are cakes to sit upon. From the comical to the unique, and the traditional to the ethnically diverse. It's all about finding a topper that reflects who you are.

Is the joke of the day your groom's comical reluctance to get “hitched”? A bride dragging her groom to the altar, hooking him and reeling him in on a fishing line, watching as her groom “takes the plunge”, or raising her hand in victory can say it all – in a comical way.

Today's designs are all about reflecting couples and the unique lifestyles they lead. Regardless of whether your tastes lie in the comical or the traditional, one of the greatest breakthroughs in cake topper design has to be the fact that many now come with interchangeable racially diverse brides and grooms. A welcome trend and one that allows every couple to find the perfect ethnic blend in cake toppers that they themselves have found in love.
