1. An amazing conversation piece – your guests will love seeing a cartoon version of you!
2. A cake that reflects who YOU are. We can work in your pets, your hobbies, even your wedding dress or outfits!
3. Save money on a simpler cake design. Plain white cakes looks great with a topper as a focal point.
4. You get the topper in advance, so no surprises. (Especially great for destination weddings).
5. A wedding keepsake. Unlike fondant, polymer clay is not food-based so it will keep beyond your special day.
Baby’s First Birthday
My little babes first birthday is quickly approaching, and I wanted to make a cake topper for her. While I make a lot of toppers for weddings, cake toppers for anniversaries and birthdays can also be a lot of fun.
Here’s a pic of my little monkey:
I wanted to sculpt a cute cartoon babe based on our photoshoot. It all starts with a bit of wire and I work out the facial details first:
Looks funny right? I really wanted to capture the floral crown she wore as well:
My babe has a pretty cheeky personality and has big cheeks so I wanted to capture that in the topper.
After baking the head, I started work on the dress, the arms and the base.
And voila!
Now if my first ever attempt at a dairy/egg free birthday cake is terrible, at least I have an amazing topper to decorate it with!👍
