Peacock feather colors

Tuesday, September 30th, 2008

One thing Swarovski colors exude is vibrance. There are a great selection of colors to choose from when trying to tie in with a peacock theme. The outcome is shown here:

Crystal feathers in the same colors can also be used on other areas of the cake, as “cake jewelry” for the cake tiers.

A Cake Topper for math “add”icts

Saturday, September 27th, 2008

Even if you aren’t math whizzes but happen to share the first initial of your first names, this is a cute wedding theme!  Using one letter and creating the mirror image of it is another great outcome.  I hope to get a picture of one added soon!

25th Anniversary Topper

Sunday, September 21st, 2008

I wanted to show that even adding small shapes to accent the numbers helps personalize the topper for the event and brings more life to the number topper…

An idea I recommend for birthdays, especially sweet sixteens and quinceaneras, is to use both the initial and number together. I conveniently call this my “birthday monogram“.

Branded

Monday, September 15th, 2008

Custom designs and logos are my specialty!   I think all guests at a wedding like to see when the wedding is personalized to the couple so that they can feel a part of their everyday lives.   Since the cake topper is the focal point of most receptions,  that is the perfect opportunity to go with something creative and meaningful.  Brands used on animal ranches can easily be made into cake toppers.  Let the crystals “glam it up” – they never disappoint!

Swarovksi crystal cake toppers don’t have to be traditional monograms.  If you have a design already created, please don’t hesitate to send it to me for evaluation.  Even if a few modification have to be made, we can usually turn your logo into a crystal cake topper of your very own!  It’s the definition of “unique”: no one else in the world will have it!

Mardi Gras Bash

Tuesday, September 9th, 2008

New Orleans doesn’t get to have all the fun! I’m noticing that the Mardi Gras theme is becoming a popular party theme. Custom cake topper shapes have to be relatively simple but the colors can help bring a crystal cake topper to life, like the way this Mardi Gras mask was crystalled.

New Offering: Glasses with stone-filled stems

Friday, September 5th, 2008

I get asked if I carry crystal toasting flutes to match the cake toppers all the time. There is something about gluing crystals to glass that doesn’t sit well with me so I have been searching incessantly for ones nice enough to offer since the middle of 2007. I have finally found champagne glasses with stone filled stems that are perfect (and reasonably priced!). Unfortunately I do not have the ability to fill the stems with any color. They are pre-made and are only available in the clear stone color but they compliment the Crystal cake toppers and serving sets perfectly.

Tier Toppers: Continued

Wednesday, September 3rd, 2008

This cake was for one lucky little girl! Her first birthday party was a “no expense spared” event. Each of her initials were represented on the tiers of her whimsical wonderland cake.
