The cake topping selection is a fun job. You pick it out, you purchase it, you place it on top of the cake.

Tips For Selecting a Wedding Cake Topper

Are you looking for something a little different for your wedding cake topper? Below are a few ideas for creative wedding cake toppers.

A pair of ecru porcelain bisque bridal bears, doves or belles will be an adorable top to your wedding cake. Miniature bride and groom topping cakes of yesteryear are slowly becoming an old fashion. The figurines are often accented with ecru netting, satin ribbon, lace and pearls. Looking for a cake topper that's different from the traditional bride 'n' groom? Try sweet hummingbirds on for size made of blown crystal.

Add a twist to the traditional bride and groom figurines by buying a musical wedding cake topper and watching the little folks waltz.

Do you both love your dogs? Have your wedding cake topper custom-made to represent your favorite pooches, place them next to the bride and groom figurines, and don't forget to invite real dogs to your wedding! (Maybe even dressed accordingly.)

Replace human figurines with dressed up teddy bears for a cute touch. If appropriate, consider crowning your cake with twin hummingbirds, doves or swans.

Be creative with your wedding cake toppers! Play with your hobbies and dress up the human figurines in uniforms that represent your hobbies. Are you both dedicated skiers? Have skis and full mountain gear ready for your miniature figurines! Have the groom and bride figurines holding items that represent who you are.

All these wedding cake toppers can be found over the Internet with a little searching. In the event that you can't find what you are looking for, many companies will gladly custom make your cake top. With a little creativity and some time, you can have a cake top that people will remember for years to come.

A sentimental gesture that won't remain unnoticed would be creating the wedding cake toppers the same as your grandparents or parents used at their wedding. To make the parents of the happy couple feel extra special, serve them the first slices of cake you cut yourself, before it is taken to the kitchen to be cut and served to your guests.

You may enjoy another special wedding cake topper tradition practiced in Bermuda. With this tradition, a tiny green tree is used as a cake topper. After the wedding, the bride and groom can plant the tree in their garden and watch it grow, as their marriage does!

The look of the moment is a wedding cake topper with fresh flowers. Some favorites include roses, carnations and pansies. These flowers can be arranged into cascade designs or other styles. For a astonishing look, have one perfect bloom on your cake, such as a lily or orchid.

Wedding cake toppers, porcelain and biscuit figurines and sculptures are often used as a romantic keepsake. For instance, you can go for a dove couple, a romantic bouquet, even an abstract shape - virtually anything that you can use later on your drawer or fireplace mantle. Wedding cake toppers add a sweet finishing touch to any wedding cake and make great souvenir afterwards!
