Wedding cake jewelry is one of the newest ways to add an extra sparkle on that special day. Everyone loves a beautiful creation of several layers that is decorated with style. In the past, bakers and decorators would add rows of tiny icing beads and delicate flowers. While these touches add elegance, guests must be close by to see all the lovely handiwork.
Today there is a way to draw attention from across the room. Adding some sparkle is a way to make all those delicate beads and flowers stand out. There are many different kinds of pieces that can be added around and on top of the professionally baked confection. There is no limit to the kinds of decorative pieces that can be added and most do not require anything more than a bit of extra icing to help hold them in place.
Toppers and pieces that can be placed around the base are frequently made of Swarovski crystals. While silver and gold are more commonly used, some bakeries will use other colors as well. Toppers can include monogram initials of the couple's last name or initials of their first names. Many more pieces can be placed in various strategic areas.
Carefully placed medallions can be a great accent in wedding cake jewelry. Many shapes and sizes are available. Smaller pieces can be placed at the junction of two icing ribbons, while larger pieces can sit on top or along the sides, if the cake is square. Many unique designs are available. Typically a silver base contains several crystals. Some other options include crowns with a silver wire base and many glass or acrylic flowers that have been tinted to coordinate with the wedding colors.
