Sterling Cake Pulls (6)

Inspired by a charming Victorian tradition. For your bridal shower--gifts or prizes for your bridesmaids. In Victorian times each wedding cake pull charm was believed to have a special significance or meaning. Traditionally, the charms were pulled out from the cake by the bridesmaids before the cake was cut by the bride and groom.

An easier option is to: 1) cut a piece or pieces of plastic or parchment paper to place under or around the bottom cake layer, 2) then using a spatula carefully lift up the plastic or parchment paper with the edge of the cake, 3) carefully place an inch or so of the ribbon underneath, between the plastic or parchment paper and the cake holder or plate, and, 4) finally, arrange the ribbons and charms around the cake on the table, like spokes in a wheel.

Make your bridal shower cake the focus of the decorations. Add color by using different colored ribbons. Wrap up each charm or let your guests pick the charms they want. Then tell them what each charm means or signifies. Your bridesmaids and friends will love wearing these cake pull charms on a classic silver charm bracelet.
