policeman and his dog cake topper


A cake topper made recently for a birthday cake. This policeman and his dog were created from photos and descriptions. Went down really well and I had a lovely comment from the buyer on my website here: http://www.nikkisnoveltygifts.com/page13.htm Having feedback like that always makes it worthwhile because they take a long time to make.

pirates of the caribbean cake topper




























Time to get some of my toppers out here! I have been so busy crafting that I haven't had any time at all to blog or even read anybody elses.

This chap is a pirate themed cake topper, based on the pirates of the caribbean character played by Johnny Depp, tweaked to wear a coat owned by the birthday boy. I really enjoyed making this one - It was a lovely change from the usual. :)

Please help our fellow blogger Sahm

Reading my friend Juliet's blog at http://julietkbears.blogspot.com/ I came across a terrible story! Visit http://www.scraps4fun.com/ to read the full details... Please help Sahm as I can only imagine how awful that would be! Was my visit to the talented scrappers blog and I lost a good half an hour in it - well worth a visit :)

band themed cake toppers


Hi folks. My most recent cake topper was for twin brothers, one a guitarist and one a drummer in a band. Here they are!
Took me ages to make but nice to make something a little different. I have an order for a cellist and a saxopnonist bride and groom to do soon - that will be a challenge too :)

A couple of new toppers




Just thought I would post a couple of pictures in here of some recent toppers. Lots more pics to post but haven't formatted them yet. Time is so hard to find these days!


The second picture is of a military groom and his bride, for a wedding coming up in April. The first is a pair of sweetheart lion cubs for an engagement cake.

Male civil partnership ceremony cake toppers


Commissioned as part of an advertising campaign for Newcastle's Centre for Life in the run up to their launch of civil partnership ceremonies within the centre. These chaps are cementing their relationship in style, dressed in dapper outfits, one with thin pinstriped trousers and the other in a crisp black suit. They have matching waistcoats and ties and colour co-ordinated button hole / handkerchief.
Handcrafted from fimo, these toppers will be listed as an example of civil partnership toppers in my website shortly at www.nikkisnoveltygifts.com and will be available to purchase, fully customised and personalised to buyers' specifications.

Female civil partnership ceremony cake toppers



These are my first pair of female civil partnership cake toppers. Part of an advertising campaign for Newcastle Centre for Life, I designed these using two of my favourite dress designs from previous orders. I love the dark red detail. They will be listed as an example of the range on my website at www.nikkisnoveltygifts.com shortly also.

Policeman and bride wedding cake toppers



These toppers were Wednesday's job this week. Made to a customer's specifications from photographs. I enjoyed making the bride's dress with the beaded design on the bodice. She has a veil made from champagne chiffon, attached with a floral barette.

The policeman made a nice change for me too. I enjoyed making these very much :)

Hong Kong toppers




These toppers were made earlier this week for a couple from Hong Kong. I love to think of my little people travelling that far! Been such a busy bee this week. Good job I love making them :)
