Work In Progress- Great Gatsby Cake Topper

So, just to update on the topper, it's pretty close to done. There is beading work on the base (not shown) and the birds are mostly outfitted.



Still left is the inside base detailing, a bit of the dress and the wings of the boy and their legs... oh wait- there's a lot left! X_X;



I've had so many ideas on other things to make and bake, hopefully I can make some strides.
One thing I definitely want (and is taking away my attention) is this:


Message-in-a-cookie cutters from Williams-Sonoma
Individual alphabet lettering to create customizable msgs.
I read the reviews and they seem generally good to somewhat mixed but I still can't wait to get these and try them for myself.
A lot of people seemed to be displeased with the large size of the cookie but I'm pretty sure that won't dissuade any of my friends. ;)

Pride & Prejudice Topper

Listed and ready to find the perfect home as a cake topper, curio cabinet ornament, faux-terrarium display or pillbox hat (?):

Work in Progress

So, yesterday I remembered I should blog, I just didn't do it.

It just sort of didn't happen. After running errands in the disgusting heat during most of the day, I spent my night working on one of the wedding toppers I started and watching the entire 1995 BBC version of "Pride and Prejudice" (again) on Youtube. I saw it on tv a couple of years ago but since this topper is P&P inspired, I was in the mood and got a lot of initiative to finish the mate:I kept having to remake/ abandon the "mates" I was making because they weren't fitting together well.

Like in real life, sometimes you have to go through a few to find the one thats right for you.

I actually made him (not totally finished), then made the mossy hill base and attempted different brides throughout the time.

But last night, I finally made the one I was happy to pair with him:

Neither are finished yet, (legs you know) but I think they make a fine pair.

(I felt like an engagement/ wedding photographer here)
