Most couples make the decision to add a wedding cake topper to the cake that they serve at their reception. Wedding cake toppers are a tradition that started in the US in the 1950s and usually had one design, which was formally attired miniatures of the bride and groom. Here are some tips on choosing a wedding cake topper.
Apart from the traditional topper, there are now many alternatives available. Many couples try to opt for a topper that looks just like them, or maybe represents their hobbies. There are also a variety of Disney character wedding cake toppers, such as Cinderella and Prince Charming or Mickey and Minnie Mouse.
Some people have made the decision to use other toppers on their wedding cakes. Fresh or iced flowers can make a great choice when opting for a floral wedding cake. Bows are another popular option for those who want a wedding cake topper that complements their cake; such as a wedding cake that has a gift box appearance. There are also many humorous topper designs to choose from. For example there are many variations of the bride trying to catch the groom; either by reeling him in on the end of a fishing line, or grabbing him by the collar as he makes a run for it. Wedding cake toppers now also reflect a variety of ethnic nuptials; and of course with the onset of same sex marriages, the gay and lesbian communities are equally catered for with toppers for their cakes.
