I have wrestled with ideas for my cake topper. At first I thought I'd try a really ambitious project to create papier mache newspaper birds, but um ... I have my doubts that'll happen. I barely clean my house, much less make papier mache anything.Then I thought I'd use an ampersand, as a nod to our typography/journalism theme and also to signify that we're now joined.
But that all went to hell when I spotted this handsome fella and pretty gal on top of a shelf on my way out of my very favorite antique store ever, 17 East Beverley in Staunton.
Their flowers are yellowed, his hair is a little chipped and her birdcage veil is a little ripped. But they're still together, after 60 years. And they only set me back $28!
They came home with me and I hope someday they land on my daughter or son's cake. They do, however, present a problem, as I am having cupcakes. So we'll either have to get a tiny little cake or just set this on the top tier by itself. Suggestions?
I like your idea of setting it on the top tier with all of the cupcakes below it!
ReplyDeletei vote tiny cakelet that will be saved for your first anniversary as tradition dictates... it could simply be a larger cupcake set in the center of the top tier
