An interracial wedding cake topper can add the perfect finishing touch on the wedding cake. Couples want their weddings to reflect their own unique relationship, and today there are many choices rather than a standard "one size fits all" topper.
Interracial Wedding Cake Topper Options
Couples are a classic wedding cake topper. If you're entering into an interracial wedding, you'll want to have each figurine represent yourself. Look for a style that reflects your looks and personality for a true representation of yourselves as a couple.
Popular Poses
An interracial couple can look for figurines posed in a way that highlights their feelings for one another. These poses include:
- Standing side-by-side
- Kissing or embracing
- Dancing together
- Sitting with legs hanging off the cake edge
- Portraying a hobby, such as fishing or playing instruments
- Gazing into each other's eyes
- Exchanging rings
Personalized Photo Toppers for Interracial Couples
Another option for interracial couples to choose a cake top is to consider a photo topper. These toppers can serve as a keepsake or decorative piece after the wedding. Look for a lightweight photo favor frame that fits your wedding theme or style and place an engagement photo in it. Add it to the top of your cake.
Interchangeable Wedding Cake Toppers
This innovative cake topper idea allows couples to choose the topper figures, perfect for interracial couples who want a personalized topper. These mix and match style toppers may stand side by side or be affixed together to create a single base. Couples can typically choose skin color and hair color for the groom and bride figurine to resemble their own. The bride figurines are available in various dress styles as well. Common materials include resin and porcelain, but other materials may be available as well.
Custom Interracial Wedding Cake Toppers
In addition to premade interchangeable cake toppers, some companies also take custom orders or special requests for interracial wedding toppers. You may be able to select specific skin tone, hair color, and even wedding gowns, flower, accessories, and other details for the bride and groom figurine. Be aware that there are typically additional charges for special request or custom cake toppers of this nature. When ordering a personalized or custom interracial cake topper, remember to order early. Special request toppers may require several months for completion.
