Personalised cake toppers

Postby puddy2shoes » Wed Oct 12, 2011 11:44 pm

Hi everybody

Just wondering if anyone is getting or has gotten in the past personalised wedding cake toppers such as the ones on this website:
http://caketoppersireland.ie/
there is a couple of other websites that do them but the good ones are all about €140. a bit expensive for a cake topper ut they are so cute and original and personal that im really tempted. just looking for anyones positive or negative experiences of customised toppers

Thanks!

:chef I'm definitely getting a personalised cake topper. Have had an idea in my head for ages but haven't looked into it yet. Think there are a few sites that do them for cheaper than that. Will suss it out and see. I think they can be hilarious and really personal. Regular bride and groom wouldn't be for me :justarried2 xx

That sounds class, you should def do it. My h2b is really into cars and has been restoring an old Ford for years! It'll be used for the wedding and I really want to get a topper of us sitting in the car with the number plate of his car on it :) Must look into prices now you've brought it up!

Are those ones in Wexford not of the edible variety? It seems so from their website, these will not last forever, you need the ones made from Fimo for that.

Might account for the huge price difference.

Just another ideas to add to the thread ladies...our own cake decorator gave us a book of different types of cake designs to look through...have no idea what to go for but one idea I saw in the book was very cute..do you know the 'Willow Tree' figures?! On one cake there was a willow tree figure it must have been 'together' or one of those themes, it is so beautiful and very unique! I think I may go for it if I don't go for a personalised topper. It was very cute I have to say.

I'd love a personalised one, but those cartoony ones kindy freak me out a bit...it's the eyes... :frown
I've seen some really cool, realistic cariacature type ones online, but not much has been affordable :( Anyone know somewhere that does those kind of ones??

Have you tried minimemodels.com
Don't think they are cheap either, you are paying for the time it takes to make these type of models, hence the price.
