Choosing Every Wedding Cake Accessory

A wedding cake will obviously not be the beauty that it is without every important piece of wedding cake accessory. Each wedding cake accessory should be carefully picked or made with great attention to detail. Each wedding cake accessory should ideally complement your wedding theme. The most common cake accessories include toppers, boxes, servers, charms and sweets.

Cake Topper

Your most important wedding cake accessory would probably be your cake topper. Choose a custom made piece for this wedding cake accessory that will go well with both your theme and your personality. For formal wedding events, you can have an elegant monogram topper. You can also have the traditional bride and groom wedding cake accessory topper or a similar topper style in a different pose for a more romantic and dramatic effect.

Weddings in beaches or informal wedding venues can feature a wedding cake accessory topper that is unusual or humorous. Have figurines dressed in casual clothes and featured in funny scenes or pick animal or fantasy character toppers. You also have the option of picking figurines showing the couple’s special interest. More daring couples can have this wedding cake accessory fashioned after figures that are not typically associated with weddings such as black birds and horror characters.

Cake Boxes

Share the sweet delight of your wedding cake with special cake boxes. Cut a small slice for each guest and place on a wedding cake accessory box wrapped in your bridal colors in tulle and silk ribbons.

Cake Charms and Jewelry

Leave a special memento to each of your bridesmaids with a wedding cake accessory charm. Have each bridesmaid pull the cord of a wedding cake accessory charm to get a glimpse of her fortune. Have them keep and wear their special charms. If you are especially generous, dot your cake with semi-precious stone jewelry or faux jewelry for each of your bridesmaids and some of your female guests to wear.

Cake Cookies and Sweets

Don’t forget the little kids. Add something special for them on your cake too. Sink some cookies and candies on your cake icing and give the kids a box each. Carefully have them assisted by an adult as they harvest the sweet goods around your wedding cake.

Cake Servers

This important wedding cake accessory should be paired with a cake knife. Pick a server and knife made of steel, pewter or silver with stylish handles made of the same material as the blades or made of stylish crystal, glass or plastic.

Pick a serving set that speaks about your personality and that matches your wedding theme. Have sea shells and creatures added to your serving handle for a beach wedding or have a heart shaped server blade for a more romantic effect. For formal events, have your names engraved in gold on plain silver or steel handles. Save this wedding cake accessory set as a memento of your special day.
