The origin of the cake topper is not definite. WeddingsOfToday.com claims that the cake topper has been a Western wedding tradition for so long "that most of the details of when it originated are still shrouded in mystery." One story about the possible origins of cake topper tradition tells of a baker's daughter who asked her father to make a symbol of love that would be visible to the guests at her wedding celebration. According to the legend, her father made two figurines that "stood in the center of the cake and at the center of the wedding."
Whatever its origin, the cake topper appears to have been popular in the West by the 1890s, when it was used mainly in elaborate wedding celebrations. It wasn't until the 1920s that cake toppers became common. In 1927, Sears and Roebuck featured a page of cake toppers in the department store's mail-order catalog.
