The Fleur de Lis, with its rich history and elegant silhouette, is a stylish and meaningful choice for a cake topper. Meaning “flower of the lily,” the Fleur de Lis evokes the elegant Iris flower, once known in France as a Lily. It will appear to bloom out of the top of any special cake. Many variations and embellishments are available, so finding the perfect Fleur de Lis topper for your cake won’t be too difficult, as many sites that feature wedding cake toppers also provide Fleur de Lis designs. Most of the Fleur de Lis cake toppers are flat, two-dimensional, and attached to prongs to insert in the top of the cake.
