I had a really lovely email and photo today, from a happy customer, it means so much to me when people love their cake toppers….

‘I cant tell you how amazed and surprised Rupert was by the topper – he loves it to pieces and it is now pride of place on our dresser!! All of our guests were delighted by it and said how well you captured us all – we cannot recommend you enough! Not just for the skill and gorgeousness of the topper itself but in your professionalism and efficientness throughout the process, i think you were the easiest thing to organise for the whole wedding, and the topper was the very thing we were most pleased with.

You are an absolute star and i am raving about you to all my friends and clients! Thank you so much for an everlasting perfect memento of our day and our lives at the time, we will cherish it forever.’

Here it is on the wedding cake, it looks lovely, the whole setting looks so beautiful : )

Civil partnerships up by 6.4%

Posted on: August 3rd, 2012 by Kate Elford No Comments

Just had a really interesting email from www.gayweddingshow.co.uk

‘The number of civil partnerships in the UK has risen, according to provisional figures released by the Office for National Statistics. There were 6,795 such partnerships in 2011, an increase of 6.4% since 2010. The number of civil partnerships formed since the legislation came into force stood at 53,417 by the end of last year.

This is great news, at Atop of the tier we have always been big supporters to the right to gay marriage and think it is fantastic that it is becoming more common place.

Congratulations to  www.gayweddingshow.co.uk  for 9 years of the UK’s official gay Wedding Show.

Olympics 2012

Posted on: August 1st, 2012 by Kate Elford No Comments

The Olympics has begun! London 2012. Seeing all the flags of the world at the opening ceremony made me think about all the flags I have made over the years on the wedding cake toppers. Some are flags from the UK, and then at the other end of the scale the Union Jack and the flag of Australia. Because of the small scale they are always tricky to paint, but a lovely touch to represent something personal about you.

Another topper I have made recently was this one which represented the bride and grooms love of traveling all over the world , it was a topper globe with bride and groom, and even a copy of their own luggage. It is a completely ceramic topper so will last forever. I didn’t think I’d ever be making the whole world! I needed a globe to copy getting countries in the right place wasn’t as easy as I had expected, but loved the end result. 

This topper was another way to represent the couples nationality, two Welsh dragons, for a civil partnership, it was great fun to make and a really unique design with the blackboard and football scarf. The red was really striking and was great to see the transformation from clay to dragons.

Even though I can’t ship the toppers overseas anymore, they have and are still traveling further than I ever will. Lots of brides have packed them in suitcases and have taken them all over the world, it’s a strange but good feeling to know that the little people that start out in the workshop are important enough to travel all that way for such a special day as a wedding.
