New Cupcakes listed on Etsy

It seems like ages since I've written on this blog. I know that Diane has been super swamped with wedding orders and today she has her Garden Art Party with Debbie Friedrich of Zenatona. For those of you who haven't checked out all the gorgeous creations that Diane has been making, check out her blog for her original designs! I know she'll have great pictures from the party too to show off Debbie's artwork as well.

I've been a bit busy and just recently finished working on my Curriculum 3 projects so I can attend Decoclay classes in California for October. Now I have no excuse but to get back to creating cute figurines. This is a made to order cupcake for a wedding cake topper or keepsake item. I made a similar cupcake back in April for a custom order and liked it so much that I wanted to make it available again. The bride is complete with a sequins topped, scalloped-edged veil and interested customers can request their color choice for the cupcake bottom, flowers and ribbon. Isn't the cupcake stand too cute? (Sorry, the stand is not included, lol.)

I've been hearing more and more that we should start listing items for upcoming holidays, Christmas in particular. Christmas already? But before Christmas is Halloween :) I LOVE Halloween. This little cutie is a trick-or-treater dressed up as a chubby pumpkin. She's even got a stem hat to complete her costume!

I have a couple more new designs that I'm putting the final touches on, so check back soon!

More Owls-Hoot!

One thing I don't think I'll ever get tired of making is my owls. Just something about them makes me smile. We got a custom order for a set of bride and groom owls in a shade of green to match the succulent plants on the happy couple's wedding cake. The bride-to-be was quite happy with the way they turned out!

And keeping with the theme of owls, I wanted to make something in relation to upcoming graduations. How perfectly fitting for a wise owl to be in a graduation cap complete with tassle and a diploma under his wing. I think this would look really cute on top of a graduation cake and it would be a wonderful keepsake for the graduate :)

Custom Wedding Cake Topper

Last week we got a convo from a bride-to-be asking us to do a puppy dog cake topper based on the cupcake topper that we had listed on our gofigurette etsy site.

Since this was one of the cake toppers that I made, Diane told me to go for it. The bride is getting married May 1st, so she immediately sent a picture of her dog, just so I could get an idea of the colors she wanted and some of the detailing she wanted that was specific to her dog. She also requested that the bride wear a veil and carry a bunch of lilac flowers.

For the groom, she requested a top hat and with lilac trim. It's always a challenge to do a custom order and although I hadn't done a dog bride and groom couple before, I thought they came out pretty cute :)
