It’s traditional for a wedding cake to have little figurines of the bride and groom on top, often standing formally together, or else enacting some romantic gesture. And from time to time, that romantic gesture is…
The figures are often cute and cartoony…
… though occasionally they appeal to distinctive tastes…
Nor are they always entirely decorous:
Well, if a groom can’t spank his bride on her red panties, who can?
Some of the figures are individualized, obviously meant to represent the bride and groom of the particular wedding for which the cake topper was ordered. But even then the sculptors often recycle ideas and basic poses. You may already have noticed how often the spanker has an extended left leg, for instance; and notice also how the groom’s spanking arm in the last picture is reproduced in these two, even though each time the bride is clearly a different person:
But sometimes the figurines are mass-produced and individually painted, like these two:
One piece that has been widely available in Europe in recent years is at the slightly risqué end of the spectrum.
Each example shown here is a separate piece cast from the same mould, with slightly different colors and dressed with their own individual veils:
However, in every example I’ve seen, the bride’s hair is always strawberry blonde…
… and her panties are always white.
One especially skillful painter has put some extra character into her eyes here:
Does she seem at all familiar to you? Those rather unbridal sparkly boots might give you a clue…
The sculptor drew his inspiration from an equally unbridal public spanking that happened in Kiev:
The great FEMEN sexual harassment protest of 2009 – coming soon to a wedding cake near you!
And if you only want the cake, you could do worse than this one…
These beautiful figurines, should be on every wedding cake, this world wide over.

Where do you find that comical mass produced one?

Sorry, Ann, I can’t help. The design is at least four years old and doesn’t seem to be offered any more on the sites that specialize in cake toppers; I guess even mass-produced items eventually cease to be available because the molds wear out. Since I couldn’t tell you what you wanted to know, I’ve updated the article to add two new pictures – not only a topper but also a rather attractive cake that looks as if it should be spanked rather than sliced.
