Cutie Pie Wedding Cake Toppers

I have introduced a range of Cutie Pie Wedding Cake Toppers.  These are based on the very first wedding toppers I ever did and I have had quite a good feedback on putting them on my webpage.

Because they are only 2 to 3 inches tall these cake toppers would be ideal for the small wedding cake - not to mention a better price for the budget onscious bride-to-be. 

I feel these would also be a great memento for an engagment party and then they could even be used on top of the couples wedding cake!

Making them that little bit more personlised to each couple would only require a hair and flower colour change and still keeping the cost down.

Have to admit that I love them, but then again I'm biased! lol

My New Banner

I've finally managed to get myself sorted with a new banner which I hope over the weeks I can get it up and running in all my sloted places.

Still not 100% happy with how its looking at the top of my blog page but will work on it.

Wedding Fayres done in February

I managed to get two wedding fayres done in February.  The first one was not a good one for anybody because it was not advertised and placed in the middle of nowhere with no signs stating there was a wedding fayre even on!   All of the suppliers that I spoke to told me not to be disheartened as they were not all like this and to put it down to experience.

The second one was a week later and I was more positive only to be shot down on waking up to a blanket of deep and dangerous snow which turned out to be one of the main reasons that not a lot of people came through the doors. 

Those that did come showed a lot of interest and a quite a few of my leaflets and business cards were picked up so fingers crossed I get some feedback from them.

I think if its taught me anything on wedding fayres it made me realise that its not really worth the time and effort doing the smaller ones and I was advised to spend the money wisely on table space and only do one or two of the big ones once a year!  This advise I think I will follow.

Doing the wedding fayres did give me experince in setting up and displaying my table and I feel that next time I will be more relaxed and able to set up with the minimum of fuss and time. so not all was wasted!

Getting Back into the Swing of Things!

Think I may have to give my wrist a good slapping because I can't quite seem to get back into the swing of things.

I need to get this family of toppers done and dusted before I can concentrate on getting myself ready for the weddings fayres which are now only next month! eeeek!

Starting to think how a good holiday with a burst of sunshine would do wonders but its far too soon to be thinking of that that just yet, which is a shame.

Right, lets get this year started with a good week and get things 'tidied' up and get on with whats needed!

Christmas and New Year

The last topper for 2009 was this one! He's from Australia and a professional thai boxer and the bride wanted him to have a black eye - lol! The wedding is to take place on the beach, hence the waves, shells and palm tree in the background.

We are just a few hours away from 2010 and I for one will not be sad to see the back of 2009!

Christmas day was spent at my daughter's with the whole family which was really lovely and its just going to be me and hubby seeing in the new year - thats if we manage to stay awake!

I'm hoping that 2010 will be 'the' year for me inasmuch I am breaking into wedding fayres and advertising in a wedding magazine, whoo hooo! It's about time I broke away from just the internet and let all those non internet users know I'm around and what I can offer.

From March till October is my crazy time and I'm really quite slow during the other three months and its those ones that I'm hoping to get filled in my diary so I have no gaps left. Although sometimes I welcome it as it gives me a chance to catch up with other stuff that usually gets pushed aside because time is not on my side.

I am trying to build up an assortment of cake toppers that I can use on my display table - so far I have managed to make 4 brides and 2 grooms - must get busy doing more! My daughter has offered to help me build two portfolios along with leaflets and order forms and I must remind myself to order new business cards!

Need to also get myself a couple of fake cakes and was thinking of getting those styrofoam (or however it is you spell it!) circles and decorating with ribbons and flowers for the toppers to be placed on.

So onwards and at em!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYBODY!!!!

Where has the Time Gone to ??

Goodness me, six months since I last posted and so much has gone on during that time!!!

I've been so busy with work and family that some things have had to be pushed into the background and left alone.

I should get myself into a daily or weekly routine to bring my blog up to date and keep up with everybody elses should be one of my new year resolutions!

For now, just a few photo's of some of the cake toppers that I've done the last couple of months.

The bride and groom of these cake toppers did not want to see them until the day of their wedding so I sent them to a relative who placed them on the cake at the reception. They loved being surprised and thankfully were very happy with the toppers.

This bride and groom was my third indian bride and groom and I really enjoy doing them - maybe its got something to do with the colours!

It was nice to meet the bride and groom-to-be as they came to pick up the toppers themeselves and it was so lovely to hear how happy they were about the toppers.

I also did a motorbike for the groom and will put up a photo later.

Right, I think at 6.27am I deserve that first cup of coffee of the day!

Catching Up

I've not had a chance to even look at my blog these past couple of weeks as its been hectic all round!

We now have a new addition to our family with the birth of Henry George Walter who weighed in at a mere 10lbs!!!! It was a really big struggle and my daughter had a pretty bad time of it all. So much so that poor Henry had his arm broken while being delivered as it was a case of him having to be got out quick!!!!!

I've been living most of my time at the hospital and I think with the amount of parking fee's I've paid I should not be allocated my own space for life! I know the hospital's have to get money from somewhere but blooming heck why do they have to charge so much?????

Slowly keeping on top of orders but kind of getting a bit behind and I know its going to be a mad rush the next few weeks to get back on track again - and this is my busiest time.

Will post pictures of Henry as soon as I find some time.
