A wedding cake topper is a small model that sits on top of a wedding cake. It is traditionally a representation of the bride and groom in formal wedding attire. Wedding cake toppers are often used as keepsakes or mementos of the wedding day.
History[edit]
The tradition of using a wedding cake topper dates back to the late 19th century. Originally, these toppers were simple and often handmade, depicting the bride and groom in their wedding attire. Over time, they have evolved to include a wide variety of designs, including humorous and personalized figures.
