History Of Cake Charms
In 17th century England, charms were sewn into the hem of the bride’s dress and pulled free by her bridesmaids—tokens of luck and friendship. As the custom evolved, these charms moved from the dress to the dessert. By the Victorian era, they were baked into a bride’s pie. Finding the 'Ring' charm meant a future marriage, while discovering a 'Thimble or Button' charm hinted—playfully—at a life of independence (spinster). Even back in medieval times, a King's Cake had a figurine or bean hidden in the cake for the lucky recipient to be 'King of the Day'. A blend of these traditions are found throughout our Collections and particularly in our Bridesmaid and Groomsmen Collections.
Today, the cake charm tradition is lovingly revived: charms tied with satin ribbon are tucked inside cakes or cupcakes. Each guest takes a ribbon… and together, the moment unfolds.
At Patty Cake Charms, we honor this timeless and joyful ritual—bringing vintage charm and heartfelt meaning to ALL occasions - weddings, baby showers, birthdays, graduations, holidays and more.
