Atop the cake on that special day one often finds a little bride and groom, a simple, traditional expression of a wedding.
But why that, really?
According to a Practical Wedding, people are topping their cakes with all sorts of trinkets that reflect their hobbies, wedding clothing, location, or just their sense of whimsy.
Banners are big.
From frilly lace "Just Married" signs to honeycomb party decorations that say "Hooray," brides are customizing their cakes with colorful messages, stars, and laurels.
Or instead of a cartoon bride and groom statue, how about pictures of the actual people? Photos on cardboard make surprising toppers.
Hobbies are big. Motorcycle riders have a natural cake topper that can be found in any toy store.
Cake topper companies have come up with all sorts of modern expressions for the cake.
At CouplesOnCakes.com, you can buy and customize toppers of couples playing basketball, rugby, motorcycling, playing baseball, golfing or fishing. You can even buy toppers of couples dressed in period costumes or specific interest areas, such as the military.
Another approach is to make the topper reflect the geography. In the desert? Top the cake with cactus. In Hawaii, how about big blooms?
