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:

——————————————————————————————————-

Item #1) 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. Note the handmade bouquet of calla lillies, a floral engagement added to complement the overall design. Here are the specifications for this wonderful piece:

a) The size of this topper is: 7″ x 3″

b) Beautifully hand-painted.

c) Handcrafted. Made out of fine porcelain.

d) Weight: 0.75 lbs.

Item #2) In the “Ebony Enchantment” a beautiful princess has found her Prince Charming. Depicting an African-American couple, this traditional topper would make a beautiful addition to any wedding cake. The bride is elegantly dressed in a flowing white bridal gown (with “off the shoulder” ruffles, lace trim, and a flowing veil). To add a splash of color, note the beautiful pink bouquet and a few roses in the bride’s hair. To compliment the bride’s gown, the groom is handsomely dressed in a black tuxedo and bow-tie, complete with a pink boutonniere. A fairy tale couple…one that is the perfect compliment to any wedding cake. Here are more specifications:

a) Dimensions are: 6 1/2″ x 3 1/2″

b) Beautifully hand-painted.

c) Handcrafted out of porcelain.

d) Weight: 0.55 lbs

Item #3) Ah, the wedding kiss after the ceremony. The “First Kiss” Bride and Groom Cake topper depicts it. Here the happy couple is sharing their first kiss as husband and wife. This kiss will have you skipping and dancing on a cloud! The slender bodies of the bride and groom are positioned in a graceful embrace. Their hands, lips, and hearts, connect in incredible joy…ready to party and dance the night away. The bride is adorned in a stylish white strapless wedding gown and shoulder-length wedding veil. The groom is looking dapper in his black tuxedo. This traditional topper reflects the contemporary spirit of a new couple just starting their life of wedded bliss.

Additional specifications are:

a) Made from poli-resin.

b) Measuring in at 6″ tall.

Pick #4) The “Sweet Embrace” African-American Cake Topper is a wonderful piece. It depicts a happy African-American bride and groom sharing their first kiss together as bride and groom. 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:

a) This contemporary wedding cake topper design is made of poly-resin.

b) The model stands 6 ” tall.
