Double Happiness Asian Cake Topper*
Language is made up of words which are made up of letters, but all of that is merely symbolic representation of first sounds and then ideas that exist in our minds and the real world. This can make some words, some letters, some symbols very powerful. This is especially true when that symbolism pulls back on our ancient past or on a certain cultural tradition, such as the Asian double happiness cake topper does.
This beautiful cake topping piece features the Asian symbol for happiness, doubled here in exquisite metalwork. The idea behind it is to create almost a charm, as if the symbolic power of the word, doubled, can translate into reality, into happiness doubled, and shared between two people. It represents happiness in unity, while also hailing back to the cultural heritage that it hails from. For families who grew up seeing that symbol on red envelopes, on doorways and at every wedding banquet, putting it on the cake is not decoration. It is the one detail the grandparents will point at.
This powerful symbolic cake topper stands 4" in height and is paper thin, so that it can easily be embedded in even the tiniest of cake crowns. There is no heavy base to wrestle into buttercream and no thick stand to hide behind a flower. It is crafted from polished metal, which allows it to pick up the colors in the cake, making this the perfect piece to couple with a dessert that is particularly brightly hued. Set it on red or gold and it glows; set it on white and it draws a clean, graphic line above the tiers.
The nature of the double happiness symbol makes the Double Happiness Asian Cake Topper perfect for topping a wedding cake, however it can really be used in any situation where you want to inspire joy and a celebratory nature. This is great for birthday parties and special occasions, or even just as a topper for a cake that you make at home for your family. At a wedding, this can be coupled with various other items to create an Asian inspired theme throughout the entire hall, from the tea ceremony table to the favors at every place setting.

Which one should I choose
Shoppers usually weigh the double happiness symbol against the two other things people put on a wedding cake.
| Double Happiness Asian Cake Topper | Choose it when the cake should say something about heritage: one 4" polished metal symbol, paper thin, that reads instantly to every guest who knows it. |
|---|---|
| A bride and groom figurine topper | Choose it when you want the couple represented literally; it takes more room on the cake and carries no cultural meaning. |
| A personalized monogram or name topper | Choose it when the names or initials matter more than the symbol; this piece is not personalized. |
For an Asian or Asian-fusion celebration, the Double Happiness Asian Cake Topper is the one that makes the cake part of the tradition rather than just dessert.
