Maybe I should put my moderately creative self to work and out compete those guys for custom wedding toppers. Theirs are kind of cheesy, and $225? Seriously? Thats half the cost of the cake!

1/20/2010 2:15:53 PM

I googled cake toppers and found this:




...wtf?

^^ Welcome to the wedding industry. I'm amazed at what people can get away with charging.

That's been the sum of my wedding planning experience. It's like there is a +30% button on the cash register that they hit when they hear the words "we're getting married and..."

They look really super concentrated on holding those glasses just so

Alright TWW, I'm looking for an airplane theme cake topper, but don't want to break the bank. This is kind of what she's looking for: http://www.magicmud.com/labels/airplane%20cake%20topper.html But it's $255 and that's more than what she's spending on the cake.

1/29/2010 2:16:14 PM

^ That would be pretty awesome.

^^ It's good she doesn't want that one because it's pretty damn ugly

Could do something like this but smaller:

I made two clay doggies for Jax (the OP). PM me if you want to see them. I made my best friend's groom cake, which was a submarine. I don't know how well I could do an airplane.

^ She made likenesses of our two little dogs.

I just wanted to post that folks thought the dogs were a hit Everyone recognized them for who/what they were and in hindsight, I'm glad we went with something custom made that reflected an important part of our lives.

I need to get some semi-precious gem love birds made :heart:

2/1/2010 3:06:11 PM

^^Glad I could be of assistance. They were fun to make. I am glad you liked them.

Here's a pic. More in my gallery.

Why is it 2 male dogs?

2/2/2010 10:56:58 AM

b/c it's representative of their two little male dogs, Rasta and Rocky, since they couldn't be at the wedding. The food bowl has DnX which is for David and Christina.

I loooooooved their little boutonnieres!

2/2/2010 11:23:19 AM

^^ haha I was wondering that too.

2/2/2010 9:57:16 PM

Yeah we weren't sure about the message two male dogs would send at first, but we figured everyone that was there would know our dogs and understand the meaning. They turned out to be a hit when people saw them, so it worked out well.

those things were awesome...my parents loved them too
