Wedding Cake Charms at York & White

The charm cake is an old Victorian tradition which is very charming, indeed! During the wedding (or bridal shower, etc), each guest pulls one ribbon from the center of a cake (traditionally bundt cake) to find a good-luck charm and sweet message dangling from the other end. Charms can be purchased in various themes/styles and can be customized with additional notes and colored ribbons. The old tale states that each charm fortells the recipient’s future! Various popular charms include a coin (for luck), an airplane (for travel), and a telephone (for a special phone call). To assemble, bake your favorite cake, put the charms in the center, and drape the ribbons over the cake; fresh flowers provide decoration while hiding the charms.
