Sorrido ogni volta che la guardo. Siamo io e mio cugino …  (avevamo circa 3 anni) ad un matrimonio in Australia. La mamma di Michael, Zia Pia, ci faceva ballare sempre … cosa che facevamo con piacere e tante risate.

Il mio completino era rosso con 3 paperelle bianche che camminavano in fila indiana. Invece i pantaloncini e la cravatta a farfalla di Michael erano color ‘carta di zucchero’. Come è possibile ricordarsi particolari del genere di tantissimi anni fa?

Un’altro particolare che mi ricordo è la torta nuziale degli sposi … sopra c’era un ‘cake topper’ di plastica …

… i tempi sono cambiati!

Laetitia contacted me last year …  and that’s when the ‘ball started rolling’ in preparation for the day I would prepare their cake topper. There’s a lot of behind-the-scenes work that goes on before I actually sit down and start working on a cake topper … and in the end, a nice rapport develops between the client and me. That’s exactly what happened with Laetitia.

Here are two lovely photos of the future bride and groom, that Laetitia sent me:

Now for some technical stuff …

This is the fabric that Desirée’s dress will be made out of … (it’s the black side … with a layer of red showing through from beneath):

This is a sketch of the beautiful dress Desirée has chosen:

… and this is how the bottom of the dress will actually be:

Desirée’s earrings:

Her bracelet:

… and now for a touch of genious … Desirée has opted for a black spanish lace fan instead of a bridal bouquet …

Now let’s move onto the groom’s details: This is the suit he has chosen for himself … (very elegant!)

… a close up of Phillip … (his tie/cravat will instead be made of the same fabric as Desirée’s dress).

This is how I put it all together … I really like it and Laetitia, who got a sneak preview yesterday, LOVES it. I posted it out today and within 4-6 days it will have a new home!

… a detail of the bracelet which is hidden by Desirée’s fan in the photo above:

(A big happy birthday wish to Laetitia’s husband, Wilhelm, who’ll be celebrating his ‘12th’ birthday on the 29th of February … With this year not being a leap year, birthday celebrations will be held on February 28th) …

He’s not really 12!!!

I’m dedicating today’s post to Karri and Rick who are both pilots. So what better cake topper would there be than a custom-made cake topper … let’s see what Karri came up with for me to make for them to depict them both and their passion for flying …

Here Karri and Rick are ‘doin’ their thing’!

Here they are again relaxing …

Here’s Karri with her lovely blue eyes …

Some teeny tiny photos to give me an idea of her dress …

… and their cake topper!

From the back of the plane there’s a banner with their names and wedding date … it’s not a great phot I admit … but it gives you the general idea.

It’s on its way to the United States at this very moment … via AIR MAIL … of course! What other way would a plane cake topper travel!!!

Take a look at the way the real groom posed for for their photo!! So funny! … and look at Donatella, the bride, looking like her look alike on the cake.

So cute! 10 out of 10 for the idea!

the one with the waggly tail?

How much is that doggy in the window?

I do hope that doggy’s for sale!"

This little doggy is my version of a cocker spaniel puppy … and … he is for sale … and what a cute little cake topper he’d make!

My client, Letizia ordered her cake topper just the way I made it. She had clear ideas … so it was easy to ‘get right into it’!

I added a touch of my own …. the light at the top of the lamp-post … lights up at night … because I used fluorescent clay!

This is a photo of the lovely bride …

… and this is the groom …

… and both of them together …

… and this is how I made their cake topper …. But hey, wait a minute! What’s that thing the groom’s holding?… And I seem to notice something red hanging off the bride’s shoulder …

???

That’s what it is!!

It’s a well known European fashion store shopping bag! She LOVES shopping there! … She gets all her clothes there!

And the groom’s holding a tool of the trade he’s in, the building trade,… he’s holding a worn-out trowel … and see the bottom side of it? It still has cement on it!!

Here they are again … enjoying each other’s company …

Simona wanted her cake topper to be a real souvenir of her wedding day so she asked me to duplicate her beautiful bridal gown and here you can see for yourselves how absolutely gorgeous it is …

Shortly after the wedding Simona took time out to send me a few photos she picked out for me to put on my blog. I’ll share them with you … (I have her permission to!) Here they are looking very elegant at ‘cutting-of-the-cake-time’ … with their cake topper … how cute … it looks like miniatures of them!

Here’s a closer view of the cake and cake topper …

… and closer still …

… and here’s the real thing close up.

Wishing you all the very best for a long and happy life together Simona and Stefano!
