The cake toppers on this page are examples of some that I have created for family, friends and customers. They are roughly in order of time of creation from my sister's wedding in 1984, when I hadn't realized that I could make the figures stand, to the wedding of a friend's son in 2008. There are quite a few I remember doing that I don't have pictures of: rabbits, Shar-Pei dogs, and a groom in a cowboy hat to name a few. As I cut back on production work, these are some of the one-of-a-kind figures I would still love to design. Please call Sharon at 1-419-903-0535 at least three months in advance if you are interested. The cake topper would be priced at $180 - $350 depending on your needs. I've moved the cake topper demo to the bottom of of this page and it shows a fairly complicated dress and headpiece. These pictures are thumbnails. Click on a picture for a much closer view.
Sometimes I get a request for a cake topper at just the right time - before I've started working and maybe need a project to spark my imagination. This was just such a project but I didn't know what I was in for. The pictures that I received were large and very high quality so I could tell exactly what I had to do, but I had never done a standing bride without pleating the skirt on. Since the skirt needed to go all the way from front to back and then to the front again, it required a fairly precise pattern. It took three days to get the pattern right because each time I cut a paper pattern, I had to also cut it from clay and drape it onto the base. Finding the crystals for the headband took a while too, but as it happens there is a wonderful bead shop in downtown Kirkland that had what I needed. One of the client's concerns was the groom's hair and that was one of the really fun parts.
