New Wedding Cake Topper Designs

I have finished a few new wedding cake toppers that can be completely customized with different animals and color schemes. I am totally in love with the bunting banners that I so often see on Etsy these days, so I just HAD to incorporate miniature versions in my cake topper designs. The birch bases are new too. I adore the natural, woodland touch they add. These are all available in my Etsy shop right now. Ok, back to the table to work on new animal clown birthday cake toppers... Happy Wednesday!

Mr. and Mrs. "Wuf"

Just wanted to share my most recent custom cake topper for an NC State bride and groom.
This was a fun little pair to create! I am a Tarheel girl but I love the Wolfpack too :).

It's all about cake lately...

Cake toppers, cake decorating, cupcake baking.....my life seems to be all about C-A-K-E!! After cats, it is my favorite thing :). I started my second session of cake decorating at Hobby Lobby last week. It is the "Flowers and Cake Design" class. So far we have dabbled in making fondant and royal icing flowers. In addition, I am starting to make cupcakes weekly from my new vegan cupcake book, Vegan Cupcakes Take Over the World. My husband, his professor colleagues, my cat lady friends, my art buddy and her daughter are all my taste testers. So far, so good...getting stellar reviews! And I just finished up another cake topper. One of my Cheshire Cat on the Mad Hatter's hat pieces for an Alice themed baby shower.

Here is a little peek at everything "cake"!

Alice Madness on the table...

I finished up my Pfatt and STJ update pieces, but it is too early for a sneak peek, so I thought I'd share my other works in progress today. I have been working on a miniature 8" Alice doll for a very special customer. She requested this Alice to look like the original long necked Alice illustration, so she will be painted in black and white. This piece has been a good challenge for me! Paws crossed that it will turn out well in the end. I am also working on one of my custom Cat on the Mad Hatter's Hat cake toppers. It is for an Alice themed baby shower. Love that!

Hope everyone is having a happy, creative week :)!

Wedding season is approaching....

I have lots of fun stuff to blog about...a cat adoption, a TNR adventure, cake baking and decorating....but those tales will have to wait for another day. I need to wrap up my day and get my workout done (am in week 6 of the P90X series...no pain, no gain :)!!). I just wanted to share what has been on my table for awhile. I finally finished a batch of custom wedding cake toppers today.

Cat on a Hat Cake Topper

I was thrilled to create this custom Mad Hatter's Hat topped with the Cheshire Cat for a special cake! Don't you wish you could attend this wedding??!! People are getting so creative with their wedding decor and themes. I love it...so fun! I am truly grateful to the bride for choosing my artwork to be a part of her big day!

A Cat, a Tiger and a Dragon, oh my!

I just completed a very unique and whimsical cake topper. My customer requested a cat bride, a tiger groom and a beribboned heart to top her fairytale dragon cake. She his having a medieval inspired wedding...such fun!

The tiger's tunic and bride's dress were modeled after the actual wedding attire...just simplified.

This is a picture of what the cake will look like...sorry it is so small, but I wanted you to see it.

Lucky Thai Elephants

Oh boy, I hope the weather is as beautiful where you are as it is here!!! I wish I could bottle it up and save it. Unfortunately, I need to sit here on the computer and do prep work for our taxes. Ick. Oh well. I'll feel a lot better once it's done!

We started our weekend cat trapping adventure early this morning. We got 3 so far and will hopefully have 2 more by the end of the day. They are such beautiful, sweet kitties...not feral at all...just neighborhood cast offs :(. It makes me very sad but fortunately, their sweet caretaker provides them with plenty of food and shelter. I'll write more about what happens later.

I finished up a few cake toppers yesterday...several elephants. The ones in the photo below are particularly special. A woman in Australia ordered them. She and her fiance are getting married in Thailand on the beach. They are riding in to the Buddhist ceremony on an elephant! So cool! She requested that their attire match her bridal down and the groom's outfit. The wedding colors are magenta, orange and lime, and she wanted the elephant's trunks up for good luck.

Rhinos for the Rynos!

Just wanted to share a quick post before my Alice in Wonderland hooky day starts :)!
I completed these cake toppers last night. They were requested by a bride whose fiance's last name is Ryno. I wish these Rynos a very happily ever after.....
