Categories of wedding cake toppers

For many years, wedding cake toppers have been the little figures of the happy couple which are usually put on top of a wedding cake representing happiness and togetherness. Traditional wedding cake toppers with the couple in formal can be kept over the years even after the wedding ceremony and it might be the only part can be remain to represent the wedding, of course apart from photographs.

Once upon a time, wedding cake toppers consisted of a little plastic bride and groom. But now times have changed, you can buy wedding cake toppers in hundreds of different styles and materials and you are truly spoilt for choice....in fact maybe there are too many cake toppers, it would be really hard to make an exactly categories.

So there will be a general category about wedding cake toppers based on their materials.

1. Plastic and crystal. This is the most common material which be used in wedding cake toppers. Monogram Wedding Cake Toppers is the most featured one in this category. You should decide what initials you will use in your cake topper. Often the first initials of the couple are used. Another popular arrangement is to have the initial of the last name in the center, sometimes larger, and the bride and grooms first initials to the left and right. You may also want a very simple design using just the initial of the couple’s last name.

2. Porcelain and Polymer Clay. I put the two materials on one category since the materials are similar, they are both clay. But if you think the cake topper are still similar, that would be a huge mistake. Different clay and different crafting process will lead completely different appearance. Porcelain cake toppers usually have glazed surface and simple shape. However Polymer Clay cake toppers might be just the opposite of Porcelain cake toppers, the surface of Polymer Clay cake toppers is not glazed as Porcelain ones, but the shape can be very complicated. So porcelain cake toppers usually are premade ones, well Polymer Clay cake toppers can be customized by the customers.

3. Metal. It is seldom to see this kind of cake toppers in market, but if you want a heavy and safe feeling cake topper, this kind of cake topper might be a good idea.

There are still some others material cake toppers which we haven’t put together. We believe there are so many cake toppers, you sure can find one suitable for you, or at least you can custom one.

History of Wedding Cake Toppers

Before we move onto the other parts of cake toppers and wedding cake toppers, first it is important to know the past of cake toppers---the history of wedding cake toppers. Unluckily it's really hard to figure out as when exactly wedding cake toppers entered the slew of wedding customs, all we know is that the use of wedding cake toppers is an ancient tradition followed in wedding ceremonies. The exact details of their origin are wrapped in mystery. Of course, there's no debate or doubt about the importance of the wedding cake topper.

After searching the whole internet, I got a beautiful story about its origin, you might already hear of it, but why not enjoy it again?  Once upon a time, a baker's daughter was getting married. The girl wanted her father to create a symbol of the unflinching love between her and the groom, for the world to see.

Spend several days thinking for many ideas and carefully deliberating over each one of them, a great solution came out of the father mind- a lovely wedding cake with two amazing figurines on top of it. The figurines that the cake top featured were obviously the reflection of his daughter and her groom-to-be. The baker had conceived the cake topper as the perfect symbol of their love and bonding.

The daughter was shocked by the sight of the cake made with love and affection by her father on the wedding day. She was indeed touched by the beautiful gift and the sentiments behind it and she thought it was the best gift, among the most unique wedding favors, she could have received. The cake, hosting the figurines, was prominently placed at the venue of the wedding.

This tale might just be a tale, yet it shows the significance and importance of the wedding cake toppers in wedding ceremonies.  So when you know the history and beautiful story of wedding cake toppers, suppose you were the baker, do you have any special idea of the symbol of the unflinching love between your daughter and son-in-law?
