Coates Family.

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.

An Angler and his Bride

First things first, we have to have a body and that body has to have trousers, waistcoat, shirt and tie.

 

 
Next he gets his jacket and accessories.

He is an angler so he needs his fishing rod and if he has been lucky a fish on the end of his line. A few maggots crawling out of his pocket! and the compulsory camouflage hat.

Got a bit carried away with the bride and forgot to photograph her in stages. She is sitting on a tree stump.




Frying tonight! she is cooking the fish that her Groom has just caught. Need to hurry and get their eyes in before they have an accident!



This is the view from the back, I added flowers in her hair and she is sitting on a tree stump that is surrounded by grass and flowers.

Fish supper anyone! I think it is more of a skillet than a frying pan.

Here they are all done and ready for their tea, after they get married of course.

Hope you like them.
