The Wedding cake is so much more than ‘just a cake’, it’s the focal point in the venue and is often the stand alone ‘hook’ to tie in bridesmaids colours, chair bows, table flowers and the groom’s cravat!
The cutting of the wedding cake is eagerly awaited at the ceremony as it’s the first symbolic task that the couple perform jointly, it indicates their mutual support and confirms their promise to always provide for each other.
Fruit cake was also a symbolic gesture, however most couples nowadays either don’t enjoy fruit cake or don’t keep a layer for a christening – what could be nicer than to remember the day than a bespoke cake topper?
Keepsake Cake Toppers can take many forms, from a spray of hearts to a comic couple, and always remember (regardless of their title) they don’t need to sit on top of the cake! Cake Topper figurines can be colourful, simple, quirky, caricatures, lifelike, comic or poignant, but the best thing is that they can be kept long after the cake has gone! Cake toppers can be just as described, to stand or sit on the cake in a crowning glory, or stood on a tier, or more commonly next to the wedding cake on the cake table.
A traditional or elegant cake may not support a comic couple with the groom holding his iphone and the bride deep in a book, but placed next to the cake as another ‘centre piece’ tradition and elegance can meet comical without going head to head.
As many as a third of all our toppers have been made as a surprise gift from bride to groom, parents or bridesmaids. Although most cake decorators make toppers from sugarpaste which is able to be kept, but fraught with damage potential from humidity, mould, etc. most bespoke character toppers are made from polymer clay or lightweight non toxic safe (not edible) modeling materials. Generic models can be found all over the internet but as every wedding is unique it means models should be unique to each wedding too.
Handmade Cake Toppers make figurines and characters in many styles and can work with you to make a unique keepsake of your special event. It can include children, bride attendants, pets, hobbies, work uniforms, Cornish or Scottish Tartans, match your wedding attire or football team.
Possibilities are endless, challenges are relished, but memories can be cherished forever!
