Hand Painted Classic Bride & Groom Porcelain Cake Topper*
Miniature figures of the bride and groom, standing atop the crest of a beautiful and elegant wedding cake, are an icon of the ceremony itself. It is part of a tradition that has grown through the years until it became an intrinsic part of what people expect to see at a wedding. There are many kinds of cake topping figures to choose from, but the Hand Painted Classic Bride & Groom Porcelain Cake Topper is one of the most recognized of them all, a potent symbol of the union of marriage that needs no explanation to a single guest in the room.
Here are two figures locked in love's embrace. The man is dressed in the traditional black tuxedo of the day. The bride wears an elegant yet simple flowing white wedding dress, strapless, classy and understated. Look closely at the delicate features of the two figures and you can almost see the sparks passing between them, the meaningful eye-locked gaze that seems unbreakable by any force of nature.
The figures are crafted from high quality porcelain. Every line, every curve, every indentation of character is placed with care, creating a tiny scene of love and joy. The painting is all hand done, with every small detail put in place by human hands, so no two pieces are quite identical and the result reads as a keepsake rather than as a mass-produced ornament. Porcelain photographs beautifully under reception lighting, which matters when the cake cutting is one of the most photographed minutes of the night.
The couple stands at 5.75"H and the set is 2"W. They weigh 5.6 ounces and stand on a base which is only 1.75" in length, so the topper needs very little of the top tier and leaves the cake itself room to be seen. After the cake is cut, the Hand Painted Classic Bride & Groom Porcelain Cake Topper comes off the plate, gets rinsed and goes onto a shelf, where it becomes the anniversary piece the couple keeps for years.
Choose your quantity above and give the cake the figure everyone is waiting to photograph.

Which one should I choose
Cake toppers split into the pieces that get kept and the ones that get thrown away with the cake board.
| Hand Painted Classic Bride & Groom Porcelain Cake Topper | Choose it when you want the traditional figures, hand painted porcelain, and something that goes on a shelf afterwards. |
|---|---|
| A monogram or initial topper | Choose that when the cake design is modern and figures would compete with it. |
| A printed or acrylic topper | Choose that when the topper only needs to last one afternoon and weight on the top tier is a concern. |
For a traditional wedding and photographs that should still read well in twenty years, the porcelain couple is the one that earns its place.
