these are a few of my favorite things....

This set was made for a couple who is clear about their priorities in life:
1. get married
2. drink beer
3. make art


cheers!!

40 is the new 50

My last custom wedding cake topper blog entry for the month is actually a celebration of 40 married years--WOW can you dig it? I borrowed the pennant idea for this special order because it seemed like the best way to make these inanimate objects jump for joy at this major milestone.

Here's another sweet custom monster family for a couple whose two children will be joining them in the festivities. The theme for this wedding is circus, so the colors you see here are in keeping with that awesome concept. These guys are going to be part of the decorations at the wedding reception. Tomorrow I'll show you their cake toppers and you'll get the whole circus idea. Stay tuned!

monkey+monster

I love couples who embrace their unique qualities! Hence the monkey and the monster who will tie the knot this summer. And, as everyone well knows, a monkey + monster wedding would never work unless orange was the wedding color.

it's a family affair

This was such a fun commission I did last month--the couple saw my monster cake topper set and wanted a special design that also included their young daughter who will be the flower girl. I matched their wedding colors of pale pink, black white and gray, with a touch of silver and gold. I made the display stand match the size of the top tier of their cake in case they wanted to put the whole piece there, but there was also the option to just use the figure on the cake and save the stand for later.

scrabble fans unite!

I made this special order to celebrate the 50th birthday of a true Scrabble lover. The customer wanted sunny yellow hair, blue sky with clouds body, rainbow socks, and grassy green feet with flowers on top. Who am I to say no? Happy birthday Larry!

monster wedding!

I got another lovely batch of photos of a wedding I made a custom cake topper for--the couple fell in love with my monster set, but wanted to have it attached to a base that matched the sweet polka dot fabric used for the table settings.

limerick entry #21!!

there once was a scary parolee
whose face was covered in pozole
he said with a grin
as he wiped off his chin
that he wished it was Sylvia Poggioli
