Do you know what wedding cake toppers are? You have asked a very valid question. Not many people know what wedding cake toppers are, but they are those little “figures” or “statues” that exist on top of the traditional wedding cake. They seem to yell out “Notice Me…I’m Something Fantastic…I Matter!”. From their extremely humble beginnings there is a great variety of wedding cake toppers available in the marketplace today. Let us spend a few minutes learning their history…
After the description the history is next. Although no records exist of the very first time that a person put the first figure on top of a wedding cake, we do have various traditions. One very popular tradition states that a young woman was engaged and getting married, and she was trying to determine some way in which she could exhibit the extreme love that she and her boyfriend shared for one another. Her father happened to be the village baker, and she gave him a job. Due to the fact that he was a baker he naturally baked a wedding cake, but he added a little figure to the very top of the wedding cake. He positioned a model of his daughter and future son-in-law on the very top of the cake. This was to show off the love that these two young people shared for each other as they started their new life together.
Did this actually happen? Perhaps it is. Is it fictional? Perhaps. Does it foreshadow the prominence that the cake topper would have on not only the wedding cake but the big day? For sure. This mere baker probably had no idea what a revolution he had begun. What we now call the wedding day would never be the same again…
What do you think of the 50′s? Elvis and Good ole’ & Roll right? Well toppers were about to become more popular than ever during this decade as men returning from WW2 started to settle down and have a family.
In the world today we see that cake toppers are very popular. They have changed somewhat to reflect the changing times, but they are very popular none-the-less. In today’s world you can get cake toppers that depict mixed race marriages, and same-sex marriages as well. Many funny wedding toppers are being purchased these days. One such model depicts the pretty grabbing her new groom by the back of the shirt…preventing him from getting away. Another depicts her dragging him back to the preacher after he has run off. Some toppers even depict the types of hobbies that the happy couple can enjoy.
