Like the first dance or the Champagne toasts, the cake-cutting is a long-standing wedding tradition that many couples choose to incorporate into their big day. And even as fun, less formal desserts like mini-pies and cupcakes have also become increasingly popular, it seems that wedding cakes are here to stay. But it is also possible to adhere to tradition without being tradition al. Enter: the cake topper.
