When it comes to weddings, the bride and her dress are the focal point, but the wedding cake has slowly crept up in the ratings, presenting itself as a close competitor for the attention of your guests. Once only a traditional part of the wedding reception where the bride and groom fed each other a piece of the decadent confection, everything from the miniature bride and groom on top to the frosting, tiers and filling has changed. With more couples wanting to customize their weddings in every way possible, the cake became one of those items that gave the bride and groom the ability to showcase the uniqueness of their wedding ceremony because no two weddings should ever really be alike.
Couples now put a lot of thought into their cake choice, and not just from a taste standpoint. Yes, they want it to be delicious, but after attending cake tastings and choosing from flavors such as chocolate, vanilla, carrot cake and more; couples really get into choosing custom fillings and frosting, but it doesn’t stop there. When deciding on a custom cake, the possibilities are endless. You can go as subtle or as extreme as you like and when that cake is wheeled out you just might get the same collective gasp from your guests as you did when you were first seen at the other end of the aisle in your beautiful dress.
If you’re thinking about joining the many couples who want a unique cake for their wedding, here are some examples. Let’s say, you and your fiance are a couple who love to surf. It might be a good idea to incorporate your joint hobby into your cake presentation by choosing blue frosting as waves washing up on mock sand, and for your wedding topper you might choose a bride and groom on surfboards. If you have a dog who is an integral part of your lives, you can add Fido to your wedding topper and if you have a child or children, add them as well. Couples who vary drastically in flavor choices, where one wants a chocolate cake and the other wants vanilla, can have the layers of their cake be completely different flavor. There are no rules and anything goes.
The cake topper really pulls it all together and makes a statement about who you are as a couple. Did you have to drag him down the aisle? Are you a hopeless romantic or do you share top billing with his guitar? Are you the one on the pedestal or are you both avid travelers? There are endless ways to express yourself with your cake topper and it will become one of the most memorable components of your wedding.
