Ribbon Cake Pulls

Cake Pulls, a tradition which is rapidly re-gaining popularity, originated in Victorian England. Prior to her wedding, a Victorian bride would hide several sterling silver charms attached to satin ribbons within her wedding cake. Before she and the groom cut the first slice, her bridesmaids would each pull a charm as a special keepsake of the day. Each charm had a special meaning and foretold good luck, romance, or good fortune.

Today’s cake pulls retain the fundamental significance of their Victorian-era counterparts, but with a few contemporary twists. Not just for the enjoyment of bridesmaids; they are being included at any event involving a cake – bridal showers, baby showers, graduations, bat mitzvahs and confirmations, birthdays, and other celebrations – whenever you want a special memento for a special day.

Planning a birthday party? Cake pulls are the perfect party favor for your little charmer. After all, pony rides, balloon animals and a rent-a-clown are quickly forgotten...with cake pulls, guests will have a remembrance of the day with a unique keepsake sterling silver charm to add to a bracelet, necklace or key chain!

Cake pulls also are no longer hidden within the cake. Today, bakers place the sterling silver charms with only the ribbons showing under a plastic film that separates them from the bottom of the cake and protects the elaborately decorated confection.

To make your event even more interesting, each cake pull set is furnished with a "Cake Pulls Fortune" card. The "Cake Pulls Fortune" card explains the special meaning for each sterling silver charm. Should you select the Bridal Cake Pulls; the Eiffel Tower represents the honeymoon for the bride, but for the guest who received this sterling silver charm it says they are the next person to take a trip!
