White Dove Porcelain Cake Topper*
The dove is a powerful symbol, representing hope, beauty and life. Two doves entwined can add a touch of love to the equation, symbolizing the beauty of mating and of union, joining of two creatures into a single bond. It's an idea of nesting, of family, of unity which is intrinsic to the archetypes we all recognize in the world around us. That's why the White Dove Porcelain Cake Topper is such a powerful piece when used on a special occasion such as a wedding.
Crafted from glazed porcelain, the two birds entwine about one another, beaks and faces moving in towards pecking kisses. The wings of one splayed wide in wild abandon, the others wings pressed tight to form, playing coy within the lovers embrace. They are pure white, perfect and exquisitely crafted. Look at them from one side and you see the drama of the open wing; walk around the cake table and you see the quieter bird instead. It is a piece that rewards a second look, which is more than most cake tops can claim.
Standing at 6-7/10" in height, with a width of 2-3/4", this is a piece which leaps upwards from the cake, soaring like a crown above its crest. It is only 8.8 ounces in weight and the base is approximately 2-5/8" in length. That combination matters: tall enough to be seen from the back of the room, light enough and narrow enough in the base that it sits on a tier without menacing the frosting.
These beautiful porcelain doves can also be used as the centerpiece of cakes at other occasions. The beauty of the twin birds is such that they can be used to decorate at a bridal shower, birthday, anniversary or even a sweet sixteen party cake. And when the party is over, the White Dove Porcelain Cake Topper does not go into a box in the garage. You can also use these as decorative pieces in other applications. These beautiful pure white doves would be attractive in a Christmas decoration setup or placed on a mantel amidst some holly and vines, in order to bring a sense of nature into your home.

Which one should I choose
Cake tops divide into the symbolic and the literal, and the difference shows up in whether the piece survives the wedding.
| White Dove Porcelain Cake Topper | Choose it when you want a glazed porcelain piece that stands 6-7/10" above the cake and works as a mantel decoration for years afterwards. |
|---|---|
| A monogram or initial cake topper | Choose it when the cake should spell out the couple's names rather than carry a symbol. |
| A plastic or resin figurine topper | Choose it when the topper is a joke for the photographs and nobody expects to keep it. |
If the cake is the centerpiece of the room, put something on it that is worth keeping when the cake is gone.
Ordering the White Dove Porcelain Cake Topper for weddings and events
The White Dove Porcelain Cake Topper is usually a single-piece order for the cake table, though planners and venues do order several at a time for a season of weddings, showers and anniversary parties, and there is no minimum order. Because this item carries no text personalization, there is no name list to send and nothing to proof. Company logos are not applied to porcelain toppers; a logo would be a custom order on a different piece, handled by email at [email protected]. Allow standard production of 5-10 business days, rush 3-5 or expedite 1-3, plus 2-5 days US shipping, and order 3-6 months ahead for a wedding so the topper can be checked against the top tier well before the baker delivers. For bulk pricing, please contact [email protected].
