Mike’s mom is making cupcakes for our wedding, and her idea is to make a tower of regular-sized cupcakes with a large one at the top. She asked if we’d like a cake topper, and even though I thought we wouldn’t, we decided to look around a bit for options. Turns out there’s not much out there that isn’t totally cheesy, traditional or ridiculous. We were about to give up because this was definitely not something we were too worried about, but today when we were in Michael’s, Mike spotted the perfect pieces for a topper.
My nickname for him is The Giraffe, and his nickname for me is Sunshine. These little guys were only 59 cents each, so for $1.18 we’ve got a cake topper. We figure we can just stick them into the top cupcake and voila! Adorable! Yes, they’re kind of silly and childish, but they’re fun and simple (and cheap!), so they fit our wedding perfectly.
I like them!
When I went looking for a topper for us, I also thought many were cheesy and nothing fit us. I love that we used my parents.
Oh I just now thought of what you could do with these after the wedding. Make them into magnets for the refrigerator.
Nice Brooke – I like the magnet idea. And it’s cute that you used your parents’ cake topper. We probably wouldn’t want to use either or our parents’ since they’re both divorced. Bad omens and all…
Oh, they are so cute! ๐
How adorable!
I like the magnet idea – it would be a shame to not have these displayed always! They’re very cute.
Those are so cute. Maybe you can put them on Popsicle sticks? then you can stick them into the cake ๐
