Mini Me Cake Topper

I have been at it again, making stuff for our wedding. This time I've been making our cake toppers. We wanted these cute birds from Etsy but we can't afford the $150.00 although I do think they are worth it. So instead I'm making another set of little people like I made for my sister's wedding.

Here is a photo of my mini me. I like the end product but she is a bit broken. Her head is lose and luckly there is a toothpick holding it on. She's also been glued back together having fallen and broken in two from the waist. You can see the crack around her middle if you look at her from the back but since that won't really be visible I'm not going to worry about it. All I need to do now is to make her a REALLY long veil which I'll make out of touli. Best part about her is that she has little red shoes like I'll be wearing!!!!!

Pringle Containers and Wrapping Ribbon?

It seems we have solved the wedding cupcake stand issue and we've done so with empty Pringle containers, a bit of plaster, liquid nails and silver wrapping ribbon. Who would have thought? At the moment we are waiting for the liquid nail glue to dry so hopefully that will dry and set hard.
If all works out this 5 layered stand would have cost us around $60.00 Aus dollars. I just love the silvery goodness.



So far this is the best example of cupcakes I have found on the net with the colour scheme I am going for. We have bought both blue and silver metallic cupcake patties but we are not sure which ones we will use. Chocolate mud cake is looking like a winner for the cupcakes but something with Bailies also sounds good.

My Sister's Wedding

As mentioned in the previous post my sister got married recently on the 21st of March. It was a great day and the event took place at the Royal motor Yacht club in Williamstown.

If you look back a few posts you would see that my younger sister Annie and I made the cake toppers for Stef's wedding. Here is a photo of them sitting on the wedding cake. I must say they looked great and lots of people were amazed that we had made them ourselves. I'm now thinking of what I will make for my own wedding, if I will make another couple like this based on Axel and myself or if we will go for little animals, pair of birds or rabbits.


Axel and I scrubbed up pretty well for the day. We have set a date for our wedding, 11th of April 2010 to be held at Lakeside receptions.

Personalised Wedding Toppers

My middle sister Stefanie is getting married in March next year and she asked me to make the wedding cake toppers. With the some help from my younger sister Annie we came up with these two figurines. The wedding dress is made to look like the actual dress my sister is wearing and being a huge comic fan we decided to give her fiance a superman t-shirt as a shirt. I must say after working out how to sculpt these little people making them was a whole lot of fun!
