Birthday Topper

I was asked to make a Birthday cake topper for a little girl called Lucy. Lucy will be 3 years old at the end of August.  She likes all of the Mr Men and the Little Misses.

I began by deciding which of the bunch to make and finally settled on Little Miss Sunshine for her infectious giggle, Mr Happy as he is always happy, Miss Chatterbox as Lucy is always chattering and you can't get a word in edge ways, Mr Bump as he is so lovable and lastly Mr Tickle who likes everybody around him to laugh and giggle. Here is what I came up with.

Little Miss Sunshine

Miss Chatterbox



Mr Happy



Freshly baked Mr Men, Mr Tickle needs his arms but I need to position them on their base first so I can be sure to make his arms long enough. He wants to be able to tickle Little Miss Sunshine and Mr Bump.

Mr Tickle now has his arms and is tickling his friends. Miss Chatterbox has her shoes all painted and the laces tied and Little Miss Sunshine has fastened her ribbons in her hair.

I have added a lamp post so they can see where they are going and I needed somewhere to position the number three.

This is the back view, haven't the flowers grown well!! Must be good fertilizer.

and finally with the addition of the number three. I have made this detachable so once the birthday celebrations are over it can be taken off and the Mr Men and Little Misses can be displayed on a shelf.



Hope you like it.

This Wedding Cake Topper is for Rachael and Andrew who get married in July.

Two smiling fishes in the bag already!

Fishing rod at the ready to catch another.

and now for the bride.

Pasa, a German Shepherd dog is next.



I had to get the basic shape of the dog right first. Pasa has been fishing too!




Then add some colour into the mix.



I made the base a wee bit small to fit the three figures, so had to make a larger one to sit them comfortably I also needed the banner that the names will appear on.




Now Rachael has hair complete with tiara and her bouquet of cream and white roses.



Man's best friend.



The back view of the dress, I have added little buttons. The happy smiling fishes are waving and the large fish is swinging merrily from the fishing rod! Pasa is sitting very still in case the fish should slip away.



The happy couple with Pasa of course.

Comments from Rachael and Andrew.

Biker Wedding



I had to think long and hard as to how to tackle the motorbike. I wanted it to look as authentic as possible without going into every minuet detail.

All ready to go into the oven, bits of greaseproof paper hold the important bits while it bakes.

I have to admit I am pretty pleased with it, Groom next I think.

Easy rider!

Now has hair, still no eyes.

Say 'Hello' to Smudge.

He likes to ride pillion!





and now for the Bride.




I wanted her slightly leaning forward so she can grasp the bottom of her dress to show her Mother of Pearl biker boots off!



All they need now are eyes to see the road ahead.



Back view of dress and bike.



Bike washed, nice and shiny, shoes and boots polished all ready for the open road.

I have really enjoyed creating this model, I hope it shows in the detail. The bike took a little thinking about but I am very happy with it.

Although John & Denise have not named the day as yet, the model will be put to good use on display at Wedding Fayre's and then given to them for their big day as a present from me.

Football Fans



Here we have the start of a football supporters wedding. Introducing Dad and son.



As you may have guessed by this photograph the team they support is Newcastle United, but it could just have easily been Sunderland or Everton, the choice would be yours. He is clutching his football just in case he gets the chance of a quick kick about either before or after the ceremony and he has donned his bobble hat.




oops in his haste he has forgotten to tuck in his shirt.



Dad is all spruced up but he wouldn't be complete without his Newcastle United scarf.



and here we have the pair of them together, are they going to a football match or a wedding? We will see what the bride has to say about that shortly!




and here she is, not quite ready yet a few stages to go.




With matching flowers!



She is wearing her hair up for the occasion and has added a diamante hair band.



Here we are ready for the big day and possibly the football match later.




Hope you like them.
