CommentAuthorEmmielene
its stupidly expensive.. what about having a go yourself babe? you dont have to get them looking exactly like you but if you got certain aspects like hair colour, dress style, something fun that links it to you then that would work
I did mine, they look nothing like me or him but they are in the same vein i guess only i added my dog lol. i'll pop pics on my profile
CommentAuthorrainykins
I looked at having ours characterized, but then couldn't justify over £100 for a cake topper, have looked on that good old auction site and found some humorous ones instead for a third of the price, so may go for one of them (bride holding the key while groom in chains hehe or bride stopping groom run away etc etc)
CommentAuthorCeCe
We are having ours 'characterised' .. and yep, they cost alot ..BUT they are going to last forever..so they are something we want to pay out for.
I wanted that but can't afford it so we're having a me to you bear one instead the pic is on my profile. xxxx
CommentAuthorPuddleduck87
Nah I looked into that but they are so expensive and H2B thinks they are freeky. I made my own out of crystals, pearls and wire. The pictures are on my profile. x

CommentAuthor~*~ Becca ~*~

Emmielene your toppers a mega! lol I love em! x
CommentAuthorskitty666
how did you make them???? they are fab
CommentAuthorEmmielene
i used Fimo so they will last forever.. tried doping some out of Sugarpaste but it was just too fragile. They prob cost about £15- £20 for materials.
You model them then bake them in the oven ( thats the bit you have to be careful with cos leave them just a few minutes too long and the white starts to get brown.
Otherwise, has anyone tried Etsy? ~Its a website where crafters and modellers sell their wares ( stops opening shops etc) lots are based in America but there are always UK suppliers too.
I would offer to do them for you but making things for other people is really scary :S
CommentAuthorskitty666
i dont mind giving it ago myself to be onest give me sumit to do lol
CommentAuthorEmmielene
its quite theraputic
You can get Fimo from ebay or hobeycraft... its like using plasticine really.
CommentAuthorskitty666
ill have a look when i go shopping next see if i can find any! does it come in differnent colours? or do you have to add food dye or sumit to change the colour?
CommentAuthorEmmielene
no it comes in loads of different colours, but you can mix too and get pretty marbelled effects and things.
Only thing to be careful off is using you white. Make sure your hands are REALLY clean and washg them regularly as your modelling, plus do all your white before any other colours cos the dyes that are in them transfer quickly

I used to love using fimo, when i was little, used to make badges and all sorts.
Not really thought about what we are having asa a cake topper yet. Maybe a castle for us, to follow the theme of the day. xx
CommentAuthorEmmielene
i started with Fimo when i was little too.. making beads and trinket boxes.
I hadnt used it since i was about 12 when i started on my topper, its amazing how things come back to you
