A wedding cake is the traditional cake served to the guests at a wedding reception after a wedding. (um, duh, Wikipedia)
In modern Western culture, it is usually a large cake, multi-layered or tiered, and heavily decorated with icing, occasionally over a layer of marzipan or fondant, topped with a small statue representing the couple.
The cutting of the cake will be a tradition we partake in, but probably not this much older, archaic tradition, "the bride serves all portions to the groom's family as a symbolic transfer of her household labor from her family to the groom's family." Weird. (the Sunflower cupcakes pictured are gorgeous and matched the Prairie blog perfectly)
Cake Toppers Wedding cake toppers are small models that sit on top of the cake, normally a representation of a bride and groom in formal wedding attire. This custom was dominant in US wedding in the 1950s where it represented togetherness. Modern weddings have embraced more variety in design and significance. Wedding toppers today are often figures that indicate shared hobbies or other passions. Our cake topper would be a flaming typographic E if we combined our hobbies.
We are not actually having a cake topper, but I found these other toppers for other peoples celebrations. The Brutus Buckeye for die-hard Ohio State fans like Ashlee Smith.
Or there's the HUGE Golden Retriever that would have to weigh at least 300 pounds to be proportionate to the poor bride and groom.
Here's a topper for the Kansas country bumpkin' hayride wedding, little line dancers.
And if you're in the Elk Hunting group going to Colorado in October, perhaps you'd enjoy the precious deer family. Yes, I know elk and deer are different. Okay, enough random cake topper images, I will spare you all until the next post. I promise the real wedding and receptions will be pretty and classy, I know I've posted quite a few unique pieces.
