Wedding Cake Jewellery

Gone are the days of plastic bride and groom figurines topping a wedding cake.  Today, there are so many amazing styles of cake jewellery, that you really are spoilt for choice.

The wedding cake topper has been a feature of weddings cake for centuries, with marzipan roses, birds and angels gracing the top of wedding cakes in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.  Then, the 1840 marriage of Queen Victoria of England to Prince Albert caused a sensation when figures of the regal bride and groom took centre stage.  It was only a matter of time before every would-be princess wanted a bride and groom on her own wedding cake.

Today, cake jewellery can fit every wedding theme and bride's taste. You can choose cake toppers to reflect your cultural or religious heritage, to complement your hobbies or profession, or to give your guests a giggle. 

If you have an heirloom piece - say, your grandmother's precious brooch - you can work with your baker to add it into your top tier. Or, perhaps use your parents' cake topper as your ‘something old'.

Monogrammed cake toppers are a particularly popular trend.  Pink Frosting sells versatile Swarovski Cake Jewellery in letters, hearts, ampersands and numbers. These gorgeous cake jewels add style and beauty to any wedding cake, without overwhelming the beautiful sugary creation.

Select your cake topper after you've settled on your theme and chosen your wedding gown.  This way, your cake jewellery will complement your cake and celebration.  After all, the wedding cake is second only to the bride's wedding gown, and if thoughtfully selected, can be the icing on the cake!
