A wedding cake topper fit for finding romance in the digital age, this confection decoration portrays a smartphone-obsessed bride and groom.

Poking fun at the modern world, this cake accoutrement features the conventional bride and groom wrapped in a warm embrace. However, rather than enjoying each other's sentimental act, each person seems to be on their smartphone behind the opposing person's back. In a time where couples tend to stare at their respective phones as much as they stare into each other's eyes, this wedding cake topper adds a dash a playful humor to any kind of wedding.

Fit for social media-obsessed Millennials or a couple that dedicates their life to work, this cake topper is not only ingenious but also super hilarious.
