The tradition of wedding cake pulls began in the Victorian Era as a tradition known as “ribbon pulling.” Charms of good luck and fortune were placed in the cake by her bride and single friends. This tradition of a bygone era is seeing a revival especially in the south, or more specifically in New Orleans.
Today the baker places the small charms or tokens under the bottom layer of the bride’s cake and all of the single ladies (or bridal party, or other selected group) have an opportunity to pull a charm from the cake right before it is cut.
Each charm has a special and specific meaning and can serve as a cute gift for your wedding party. For more information about the history of the cake pulls, how they are placed in the cake, or the meaning of the charms visit http://www.scottish-wedding-dreams.com/cake-pull-charms.html.
