How to Choose a Wedding Cake Topper
No wedding is complete without a wedding cake. And a wedding cake should have a topper. It is a souvenir from your special day. After all the cake is gone. Yet it can be difficult to choose a cake topper. In this article, we are going to share some tips on how to choose a cake topper.
Make It Personal
A wedding cake tradition is to have a boring bride and groom standing on top. You are not boring. There is a special connection between you and your groom. And it may not be possible in the other decorations to show how much your personality matches with each other. The cake topper is a simple and subtle way to show off your personality. Yet it doesn’t have to be a figurine. If you don’t want to keep the topper then make it edible. If you want to remember your special day, and the personalised cake you’ve had made, don’t forget to hire a wedding photographer.
Edible Cake Toppers
Cake toppers do not have to be plastic or ceramic. You can make cake do not have to be edible. Either by making them a cupcake. Or using other baking materials like gum paste. Or fondant. By using those materials you can have your wedding cake baker create simple sculptures. This could be the traditional bride and groom standing. It could be one of your favorite pet. Or something more fun and creative. There are other options, though. You could even use flowers.
Use Flowers As Your Cake Topper
You can make your cake toppers out of flowers. Instead of having any type of statue you could do something different. That is you could make your cake topper out of flowers or feathers. Feathers would be a great option if you’re doing a peacock wedding. If you do use flowers or feathers then have them stuck into a holder on top. Bakery supply shops will have what are called cake blues. These are made out of foam and designed to have things stuck into them. This way you don’t put stems into your cake. And so as soon as your raid to cut the cake you can remove them.
Weddings are not complete without the cake. Bride and grooms will spend a lot of time trying to choose the correct cake. Including the flavors, the number of tiers, and the decorations on the cake itself. They may also decide on how to decorate the groom’s cake. The last part of a cake decoration is the cake topper. Some people think they are a waste of time. Yet I think they are your last chance to show your personality. In particular, if you’re having an otherwise traditional wedding. So be creative. Find a funny cake topper. One that shows how you and your husband really act. For make it edible. Let your baker show off their own creative skills. Or just go for a pretty one made out of flowers. Remember when using flowers that you don’t want to stick them directly into the cake. Instead, use a special holder for them on top. Regardless of your choice, I hope this article helps you in choosing your own cake topper.
