Traditional Wedding Cake Toppers? What are they?

Do you know those little figures that are on the top of the wedding cake? What are they called? For those of us who refer to them as "figures", there is a more formal name. They are called wedding cake toppers, and the wonderful world of the special wedding cake toppers was started off by the more traditional. In this article we will explore their world. Here are four particular designs that we like a lot:

Pick #1) For a depiction of a beautiful princess who has found her Prince Charming, you need to look no further than the "Ebony Enchantment". This traditional wedding cake topper depicts an African-American couple, a beautiful addition to any wedding cake. The bride is wearing a flowing white wedding gown, complete with "off-the-shoulder" ruffles, flowing veil, and lace trim. To add a bit of color to the piece they have added a lovely pink bouquet and a few roses in the bride's hair. The groom is wearing a sharp black tuxedo, bow-tie, and a pink boutonniere. Wouldn't this fairy-tale couple make a fantastic compliment to a wedding cake? Here are more specifics:

a) Overall Dimensions: 6 1/2" x 3 1/2"

b) Beautifully hand-painted.

c) Handcrafted porcelain.

d) Weighs in at 0.55 lbs.

Pick #2) The "First Kiss" Traditional Wedding Cake Topper depicts the new couple sharing their first kiss as husband and wife. Just looking at this piece will have you dancing on a cloud!!! The couple's slim bodies are positioned in a graceful embrace. You can see their hand and lips, but their hearts too are connecting with the incredible beauty and joy of the moment. Soon they will be partying like mad, greeting their family and loved ones, and dancing the night away. The bride is beautifully adorned in a stylish white strapless wedding gown and shoulder-length veil. The groom is decked out in a black tuxedo. Sure to be a highlight on any wedding cake, it reflects the contemporary spirit of a new couple starting out.

Item #3) We really like the "Contentment" Calla Lily Porcelain Cake Topper as it features the happy bride and groom in a warm embrace on the "big day". The love between the happy couple can clearly be seen reflected in the tender touch of the bride's soft hand upon the groom's rugged face. The groom is gingerly holding his new bride's waist. The bride is beautifully and elegantly dressed in a strapless wedding gown. The groom is decked out in a tuxedo with tails.

Soon they will be greeting their family and friends, and dancing the night away! The bride is beautifully dressed in a stylish white strapless wedding gown and shoulder-length veil. The groom is handsomely suited in traditional attire...a dapper black tuxedo. Both bride and groom exude the modern contemporary spirit of a happy couple, starting out on the journey of a new life together. Here are some more specifications and details:
