Hand Painted Ethnic Bride & Groom Porcelain Cake Topper*
Fit your cake and wedding to match your theme with this Bride and Groom Cake Topper.
The beauty of your wedding day is symbolized by a number of things: the vows you take, the words you speak, the flowers, the music and the people who attend. Amidst all of this the wedding cake is a focal point, an iconic piece of the puzzle that stands out as being extra important on this special day. The cake is more than a tasty treat, though. It is also a symbol of the celebration, and the cake topper is the element that helps the happy couple send a message to everyone about the unity and love that the occasion represents. The Hand Painted Ethnic Bride & Groom Porcelain Cake Topper is a wonderful way to represent the love of the bride and groom, in miniature form, atop what is arguably the most visible piece in the whole reception.
With a piece that visible, quality is a major concern. Here is an exquisite wedding cake topper featuring an African American couple standing side by side. The features of the two are painstakingly painted on the surface of the material, with every detail meticulously placed and set to ensure that they are not only perfect but also have a sense of personality which can almost be felt throughout the space. Guests lean in to look at it. Photographers shoot it close. It reads as a couple rather than as an ornament.
The scale was chosen with real cakes in mind. The couple is 5.5 inches tall by 2.75 inches wide, and they rest on a base that is 2-5/8 inches in length. The entire piece is only 5.6 ounces and so should be able to rest atop even the daintiest of wedding cakes.
It sits comfortably among the rest of your table, too. There are a wide variety of wedding themed decorative pieces that can be matched up with this centerpiece: the wedding cake box gift card set is a great favor, while the engraved heart wedding guest book is a wonderful piece that matches the colors found in this set. All of these pieces can also be taken home after the wedding and prized by the bride and groom for years to come, long after the cake itself is only a photograph.

Which one should I choose
The cake table usually takes three pieces, and this is the one everybody photographs.
| Hand Painted Ethnic Bride & Groom Porcelain Cake Topper | Choose it when you want a hand painted porcelain couple that represents the bride and groom in miniature form, light enough at 5.6 ounces for a delicate cake. |
|---|---|
| Wedding cake box gift card set | Choose it when you need a favor or a place for cards on the same table rather than something that sits on the cake itself. |
| Heart wedding guest book, engraved | Choose it when you want the piece guests write in, in colors that match this set. |
| A generic plastic cake topper | Choose it only when the topper is disposable and nobody intends to keep it after the reception. |
For the piece that ends up in the photographs and then on the shelf, the hand painted porcelain topper is the one to buy.
