Chinese wedding cakes usually consist of a multitude of layers, which represent the ladder on which the newlyweds will climb to prosperity and success. They also have wedding cakes known as "Dragon and Phoenix" cakes, also known as Happiness cakes. They are baked with an impressed image of a dragon and phoenix on the top, and some may be filled with red or green bean paste.
Traditionally, at the time of the proposal, the groom's family would present the bride's family with the wedding cakes. Her family would then send them on to friends and family with
the wedding invitations.
The joy and luck wedding cake topper reflects the Chinese tradition of not allowing the bride's feet
to touch the ground before she is married.
Another traditional Chinese symbol is the double happiness wedding topper.
Double Happiness is two Chinese characters for "Happy" placed side by side. It is an important symbol in the Chinese culture that dates back 1000 years and still today, Chinese couples make sure that the Double Happiness symbol is prominently displayed at their weddings.
The symbol has also been widely adopted and accepted in Western culture because of it's joyful, positive message.
The Double Happiness symbol can also be displayed after your wedding for good luck. Feng Shui masters often suggest keeping it in the Southwest corner of your home which is the Marriage and Romance corner.
