Meet Mr & Mrs Pumpkin

December 29th, 2009

You don’t have to go with a monogram cake topper to get some Swarovski crystal goodness into your cake!  This custom cake topper was for a couple getting married in a pumpkin patch on Halloween.  How original!  It was the brides idea to give ‘her’ pumpkin some lipstick: too cute.

Swarovski Cake Topper: Re”veil”ed

November 30th, 2009

As I always say, it’s all about the right level of contrast.  Picking one color and using a few close shades of it always comes out well.  The same rules apply to my favorite pieces of jewelry.  Think of your monogram cake topper as cake jewelry!
