🎂 Nowadays cake toppers are a common cake decoration. They are used to add individuality and to personalize the cake. I recently learned about the history of the wedding cakes and wedding decoration. Yes, I love learning random stuff, though you might say cake toppers are what I do. 💕

Here are 3 fun facts about cake toppers that I thought you might like to know. 😊

ORIGINAL CAKE TOPPERS WERE NOT CAKE TOPPERS!

The original wedding cake toppers were pieces like bells, flowers or other small objects that were related to the bride and groom. Very often these pieces were made by a family member or a professional wedding cake baker using frosting, icing, or from non-edible materials like wood, glass and even plaster of Paris.
Wedding cake toppers became famous in the 1950s. They were used to represent the couple’s bond. Up until the 1990s the cake toppers were in the form of figurines of a bride and a groom. In the 1990s the wedding cake toppers started getting more personalized to reflect shared hobbies or passions. Some were humorous, or represented the couple's occupations.

FIRST COMMERCIAL WEDDING CAKE TOPPER was made in 1924. This made the cake toppers available to the masses to buy and decorate their wedding cakes.
