Over the holidays, my cousin got married. He and his bride asked me to make the wedding cake topper so I was glad to help. The couple love tigers and cats so their cake design was inspired on these animals. I did not make the actual cake but I added hints of these felines on the base of the cake toppers.
Earlier last year, I created my first wedding cake topper for a client. Like my recent one, it was made of polymer clay. The couple are Star Wars and Harry Potter fans so the cake topper included a Kylo Ren helmet and books which were fun to make. I start off with a tinfoil base and build the clay onto this, baking it a few times as I add more details and layers with each session in the oven. Thankfully polymer clay can withstand being baked more than once as long as the temperature is not too high.
Although these cake toppers are not edible, they are durable and will last a long time so they make wonderful keepsakes.
I hope to make more little sculptures using this material; I will share them here. Thanks for reading.
