Things like tiny plastic models, or flowers, or something else edible. I would definitely recommend something along the lines of icing, or cake, or chocolate, or strawberries, or dates, etcetera
There are no exact measurements. The wedding topper should be a few inches tall (6 inches is usually a pretty good height). The cake should meet your needs. A small wedding of 100 people might only need a cake one or 2 tiers (layers) high, while a wedding triple that size might need a cake that is 6 or 7 tiers high.
Good Luck and Fertility
There are many of them.
The bride and groom both hold the knife together to make the first slice in the wedding cake. This symbolizes the beginning of their life together. The cake is sliced after the wedding ceremony at the wedding reception. The rest of the cake is sliced without any special significance as the easiest way to serve the cake to guests.
Using 3 Tier Cake Stands is a good solution to stack wedding cakes http://chinapresentations.net/gbu0-catshow/cake-stands.html Regards
If you are in Mumbai then one your favorite cake shop should be "Deliciae Patissarie". In any of the occasion at my place I always prefer to order my cake from there only. All of their cakes are made by Bunty Mahajan which makes them more exclusive and delicious. They have variety of cakes from a kids celebration cake to the wedding cake, even you can order your customized cake.
It wouldn't be a good idea to post a wedding cake to Australia as it would most likely be ruined and not keep on the long journey. The cake could be ordered by you and delivered by a good bakery in Australia. The only cake that would travel well is fruit cake (which was very popular several years ago) but the more modern cakes of today are finer cakes and not as heavy. If you feel a fruit cake for the wedding would be appropriate and appreciated then make it up (soak it in brandy for at least 2 - 4 months ... the longer the better) then ship the cake over to Australia and have a bakery ice the wedding cake. Be sure to have a professional package the wedding cake for you so it will endure the journey.
Fat makes the cake moist and taste good.
Good question! I never heard of that before!
The bride doesn't have to have a wedding cake at the reception if she doesn't want one and can serve other desserts, but it's tradition and the first cut of a wedding cake is made by the bride with the groom's hand over hers to cut the first slice. If it's a matter of money a two to three tiered cake can be made (most wedding cakes are anywhere from chocolate cake; white cakes; carrot cakes, etc. and wedding cake stands for each tier can be bought at Michael Crafts or any craft store) and then taken to a bakery for the icing. To save more money the cake can be decorated by the person who baked it once iced with some fresh flowers instead of flowers made from icing. In fact, if the bride's mother or any relative is good at baking they can make the cake, ice it and then decorate it with the flowers.
traditionallly the wedding cake needs to be white, so a white icing comes along with it. A sugar based icing is good, sour cream based one works well. Remember, it has to hold up on a stacked cake.
No. It won't even taste good by then.
