Children’s Cake Toppers

Children’s Cake Toppers

Ever wonder how our quaint rituals surrounding birthday cakes came to be? And how the humble cake topper has grown to become a part of that tradition?

Because it’s hard to imagine a birthday without a cake! If you look through your childhood photos, you’re likely to find a picture with your loved ones crowded around a candlelit cake. Now, we can add a new dimension to this tradition with personalized cake toppers!

Over the years, birthday cakes have evolved. Long before celebrating birthdays became a common tradition, the Ancient Greeks were decorating cakes with candles to make the cake glow like the moon. It is believed that the smoke from the candles would carry their wishes up to the gods! The Romans were the first to begin celebrating the birthdays of ordinary people; prior to this, birthdays were reserved for religious figures. The Germans are largely credited as the originators of children’s birthday celebrations with a tradition known as “Kinderfest.” Kinderfest was a party to celebrate a child’s day of birth!

It is believed the humble cake topper was created by a baker over 100 years ago. The baker’s daughter was getting married and she wanted something on the cake to symbolise the love between her and her spouse. Cake toppers have become a fast tradition for all special occasions but are especially popular for children’s birthday parties! With Babieswise’s personalized cake toppers, it allows a great photo opportunity that can be cherished for a lifetime.
