wedding cake topper
Yesterday’s glittery little photo was a little tiny top hat for a groom bird. Below are some of the other bits and pieces that became a cake topper I’ve been thinking about forever.
I love this antique lace so much I almost couldn’t use it. Luckily I’ve got a pretty deluxe stash of old lace for dolling up future bird brides. I’ll show you some time.
I had a ball making it. Here they are coming
and going
and on a swiss dot and seam binding cake.
The cake is sitting on a paper mache cake stand. I love a cake stand. The whole thing is in the window at Kim Johnson’s Shop on Orchard St. She has some new valentiney birds for sale as well. More on the bird madness at my shop this morning and other places you can buy a bird later. The cake toppers will be available soon in my shop and a couple other places, feel free to email if you have an immediate need.

oh wow! i love the way you have their legs positioned and the way he is leaning into her… just perfect.

Wonderful, as always! I wish I would have had them at my wedding! Question: How does one go about making wire legs for plush? How do you get them to stay in? How do you cover them? I can’t seem to figure it out!

Dear Ann,
I love all the paintings and objects that you create. It is a real honor to come and visit your lovely site. This beautiful and loving couple sitting on the cake is so wonderful. Sweet and soulful.
Take care.

They’re both so delightful. They’d be nice to own just to have on display!

Wonderful, it makes me want to get married again just for the wedding cake!

fantastic! and very good use of old lace- no one gets to appreciate how beautiful it is if it stays in the stash drawer!

i heart these.

Stephanie S is right, their postures are perfect. You always do so much more than just make a bird, you give them personality and life. If those had been on my wedding cake, they would have made me cry with joy.

we absolutely have to have this for my daughters wedding in July…how do I order one.??? they are perfect for a garden wedding…

I adore that cake topper! I wasn’t even going to have a cake, but now I am, and it was going to just be a plain one, but now I think I must have some birds on them for my farm wedding.
Do you have price estimates, or would you take color requests? I’m not getting married until June…

That is so beautiful it almost hurts! I am in awe!

This is something incredibil lovely!
February 8th, 2007 at 6:05 pm
Oh my! This is so beautiful. How wonderful would it be to see that on top of your wedding cake? I love it. Sweet and so much detail.

These are adorable! I love their poses and all the antique fabrics and flowers that you use. They look like they have been together forever, very sweet

They’re so perfect! Simpatico. Lovely. Just right.

they are such a beautiful couple! Wonderful!

hi ann! just wanted to say i totally relate about loving the lace too much to use it… i have that problem all the time but am trying hard to overcome it! i have hundreds of vintage doilies which i plan to use in clothing this spring, and it’s going to teach me that giving vintage pieces a new life is MUCH better than letting them languish in a box… everything you make is heavenly; can’t wait to see what’s next!

April 1st, 2007 at 11:18 pm
