A prehistoric wedding!

Ok not quite, but they did have these awesome dinosaurs made just for their wedding!

A personalized twist on the funny classic.

Years ago bride and groom cake toppers started coming out with more comical versions. This is a personalized twist on the now classic bride dragging her groom.

A summer of dragons!

Another dragon ordered! This delightful duo represents the bride who is the dragon (who has a love of asian dragons) and the rabbit jumping out of the hat is her groom. It was a real pleasure to create something different like this. And it was ordered by the groom as a wonderful gift for his fiance!

Add a little fantasy to your wedding, a dragon cake topper!

Instead of a traditional bride and groom this couple went for a dragon cake topper instead! It reflected their love of fantasy and their wedding colors. This will make a great keepsake later on!

Don't forget about your pets!

Are you torn between having  a bride and groom topper on your cake? Or having your pets? Who says you can't have it all! Add your pets to your bride and groom topper. They can go on the base with them or they can be separate so you can put them anywhere on the cake.  Just be careful, your pets might be so cute they steal the show!

Dinosaur Love

I had a request for one of my trex cake toppers, but with a more realistic twist! It turned out adorably and we integrated part of the grooms uniform. The bride got a touch of class with pearls. That's dino love :)

Just adorable a penguin and polar bear

Amber wanted a penguin and a polar bear. This cake topper was so much fun to create! I love how it turned out and it's going to be a great keepsake for her later. I would love to make more toppers like this :) I love the realistic cute style.

The Hunt is On!

Amanda wanted a great gift for her husband to be, and she got it. A hunting cake topper!

A bob cat and penguin oh my!

Kyla was kind enough to share photos from her wedding day, she wanted a unique combination of a bobcat and penguin.

A very unique cake indeed!

Here is a cake my bat cake toppers got to grace, they looked quite at home on this very unique and spooky cake!

Cakes, Cupcakes, Cake Pops or Desserts?

Weddings are getting to be more and more fun, there is so much to chose from! When you plan your wedding you will need to decide if you want to go with a traditional cake, or a little something out of the box.

Traditional wedding cake doesn't need to be super traditional if you don't want it to. You can make changes to designs, shapes, colors and of course your topper. You can also have a couple of different flavors for your cake, each tier can be a different flavor! The most common cake is round and often 3 tiers (depending on number of guests). If you want the look of a big cake but don't have the money, you can have fake tiers, that look like the cake but are not edible, this will help you to save some money. Cakes can be circles, squares, rectangle, heart shaped, many many other shapes and sizes and even topsy turvey! Your cake can also look like something now, like a dinosaur...ok maybe not the greatest for a wedding, but you get my point. The only problem with that is you can't keep the cake you end up eating that cake sculpture!

Many brides have started to incorporate cupcakes, cupcakes are great if you want to incorporate many different flavors. Usually the cupcake and the frosting can be customized flavors. You can also add things like candy, fondant shapes and other fun surprises to the top. And of course you can put little cake toppers on top too! If you don't want to go completely away from the traditional wedding cake, you can have a smaller feature cake that you can put your cake topper on top of, then surround it with cupcakes! There is automatically less cutting, and everyone has their own personal dessert, they can eat with their hands.

Cake pops or cake bombs are more new, they are a small amount of moist cake on a stick dipped in chocolate. They can be incredibly good! They are clean and easy to eat, assuming the cake is moist. These can also be decorated in a fun way, adding faces, characters, colors, patterns, etc. These are often a great accompaniment to cakes or other desserts.

For dessert think: Ice cream bar, pie bar, fondue, variety of desserts, etc. Anything you can think of for desserts will work, it is your day after all; pie, cookies, ice cream, fondue, cake, cupcakes, candy, cheesecake, cake pops, brownies, squares, chocolates, pudding, mousse, fruit, donuts, danish, cultural desserts, and I could keep going, but you get the point!

Remember this is your wedding, you can eat the things the two of you love to eat the most!

Weight Lifting Cake Topper

This topper is a great way to add your own personality to a cake. Here Sasha and Nate took not only themselves, but also wanted to have their passions included. She is a firefighter, see her boots :) and he does iron man competitions.

And here you can see the drink luge they had, created by Fire and Ice Creations, who used my cake topper design as their inspiration!

Suzie's Bear Love Cake Topper

These adorable bears were created for Suzie, they will get to make 2 appearances, once at their small intimate ceremony and once more later for a larger reception. Thank you Suzie for letting me be a part of your day!

Bohemian Weddings

Lace is the big thing this year, from form fitted lace to loose and carefree. It's made way for more bohemian gowns and vintage designs.

Bohemian can make a great wedding theme if you're more carefree, it allows you to use nature based decor and base materials, like lace, burlap and flowers. Experiment for what is uniquely you and your Bohemia. If you're a DIY bride, this is a great time to show your stuff and to experiment. If you love the handmade feel, you can find almost anything on Etsy.

Great things to incorporate are flowers, hand crafted items. Shabby chic goes very well with Bohemian. You can cross this theme with the outdoors, a country setting, forest elegance, the indoors meet outdoors. Have fun with it!

You can save money with a Bohemian designed wedding by going with a simple wedding dress, using vintage or second hand items, DIY decorations or using nature as your decor.

Fall and Halloween Toppers

It's definitely fall now! And Halloween is around the corner! I have posted a few of my fall and Halloween cake toppers to give you some ideas :)

Custom Order for Alsatian Dogs

I got this great order for Alsatian (German Shepherds) dogs. It was fun and challenging! I think they turned out so well! The groom without his hat is 3.5" tall by 2" wide. The bride is sporting a lovely bone hair accessory and has white roses. They are hand sculpted and hand painted. What do you think of them?
