Porcelain Love Birds Cake Toppers*
Snow white doves are a symbol of purity and hope, and the sight of them brings to mind a spirit of celebratory love that is both timeless and cherished. The Porcelain Love Birds Cake Toppers are two of those lovely creatures: separate entities, and yet made specifically to join, the crooking necks reaching out to nuzzle one another in a tender embrace. Set them together and the pair reads as one piece, which is rather the point of putting them on a wedding cake.
They were originally created to sit at the crest of that cake, and against a soft white or off white frosting they look absolutely exquisite, the porcelain catching the same quiet light as the icing rather than fighting it. At 5.5 inches long and 4.25 inches high they have the presence to finish a top tier instead of being lost on it.
Because the doves are two pieces rather than one, the beauty of them is that they carry on working long after the cake is cut. They can be the centerpiece of any number of decorative displays: resting on a mantel among bits of twigs and leafy branches, with fake vines trailing beneath them, or nestled inside a nest of twigs laced with flowers and leafy touches. Placed apart at either end of a shelf, they still read as a pair.
They make wonderful wedding gifts because they are symbols of the purity and love the day itself celebrates, and they work beautifully as a bridal gift, given early so the bride actually gets to use them on her cake. They are a graceful alternative to the traditional figurines that usually adorn a wedding cake. As an anniversary gift they can be given on their own or paired with a replica of the wedding cake, so you get to have your cake and savor both the moment and the memory, while the doves stay behind as something cherished and treasured forever.
Choose your quantity and give a couple the piece that outlasts the cake.

Which one should I choose
A cake topper is on the cake for one afternoon, so the real question is what happens to it the next morning.
| Porcelain Love Birds Cake Toppers | Choose them when the topper should be kept: two porcelain doves that move from the cake to a mantel and stay there. |
|---|---|
| Traditional bride and groom figurines | Choose those when the couple want their own likeness on the cake rather than a symbol of it. |
| Fresh flowers on the top tier | Choose those when the cake should match the bouquet exactly, and accept that there is nothing left to keep. |
| No topper at all | The plain option; the cake stands on the icing alone and the photographs have nothing at the crest. |
If the cake topper is also meant to be a gift or a keepsake, the porcelain doves win, because they are still on display long after the last slice.
Ordering the Porcelain Love Birds Cake Toppers for weddings and events
For a wedding, one pair of Porcelain Love Birds Cake Toppers finishes the cake, and a second pair works on a dessert table, a sweetheart table or a mantel at the venue; there is no minimum order. Nothing is personalized here, so there is no wording to spell check and no name list to send, but the doves are porcelain and are worth having in hand early: order 3–6 months ahead of a wedding so they can be shown to the baker while the cake is still being planned. Standard production is 5–10 business days, rush 3–5 and expedite 1–3, plus 2–5 days US shipping. For bulk pricing, please contact [email protected].
