Weddings Cornwall - Cake Toppers
The Icing on the Cake
Crown the centrepiece of your feast with a lovingly crafted 'mini me'...
Personalised cake toppers are a fun and playful way of adding an extra dose of individuality to your day. After all, why opt for generic toppers that have no resemblance to you when a detailed, handcrafted piece of artwork can form a fabulous centrepiece instead? And don't just stop there. Match your toppers to your personality and passions for a humorous, memorable and sentimental statement. For a cute touch, you could opt for toppers of cats, dogs, owls, mice, penguins – or whatever animal takes your fancy – dressed up in your wedding gear. Or take inspiration from your favourite heroes and cartoon characters – Lego figurines, a classic Ken and Barbie doll combo or even He-Man and She-Ra – and the fun factor will be very much in full force. As the trend sweeps wedding world, we take a look at the new wave of artists who craft some beautifully bespoke toppers.

Couples can choose from either a detailed caricature or cute cartoon style for their custom-made toppers. Sculpting to suit each couple's requirements and personalities, her work makes for a truly covetable miniature masterpiece.
