Personalized Cake Toppers

Sorry for the recent blog silence - wedding mayhem and custom orders have been consuming all my time!! 
On that note, here's a little wedding project I whipped up the other night. 

I've seen lots of personalized cake toppers floating around the web. 

Rather than pay over $100 for one, I decided to make my own. 

It started with tiny wooden "people" pegs and some Martha Stewart High Gloss acrylic paint. 

I wanted a shiny finish, rather than a matte finish. It seemed more wedding-y. 
I painted the cats from memory and painted the groom and I as we would look on our wedding day.

It took 2-3 coats of paint for good coverage, but it dried very quickly and took an hour, tops! 

The cats would have looked ok with painted-on ears, but I "felt" like a 3-D ear would add just a little extra cuteness. #puns #waitforit

I cut them out of FELT I had lying around and hot-glued them on.   #justmadeyourday

Below is the finished project! 
**Dress spoiler alert!!**   
It will be white and cylindrical. Yikes. 

Now all we need is a cake! 
No, like, right now... I want some cake.
