Who we are

What do Personalised Toppers mean
They are hand-sculpted figurines made as per your specifications to match the dress style, skin tone, hairstyle etc. These cake toppers may also represent your profession, your hobbies, your theme of the wedding, your favorite car, your club, etc. The possibilities are endless. Anything that stands you apart we can make on your cake topper.
How are the Toppers made
Each cake topper is made to order, based on the information provided by the customer. We try to ensure that the figures are modelled as close as possible to the people they will resemble. But they are NOT EXACT REPLICA of you, they may only resemble you. The cake toppers are made from nontoxic polymer clay which is baked at 130°C for 35 minutes. Once hardened the toppers are then varnished (if required) and the finishing touches are made. They are washable and to some extent heat and light resistant. These include beads, sparkles, gem stones and other materials so they will last forever as perfect keepsake.
What size are the toppers
We usually scale them down to 1/12th of the actual size [6-8 inches tall approx] or according to the customers specifications depending on the size of the cake the toppers are going on.
Where do I find prices for the Toppers
Prices for all the Cake Topper categories are listed on our prices page. The amounts shown are in euros and if you want to make a payment in a different currency than euro, please contact us to check the actual price after currency conversion.

How to Order Cake Toppers
Please complete the Order Form and provide us with as much detail as you can like hair style for the day, flowers, tiara, veil, props related to your hobby or profession like guitar, laptops etc…. so that we can make the toppers to your exact specifications. Photos of the dress and people are always useful but not essential. Each topper is highly personalised so we would ask that you place your orders at least 12 weeks prior to the wedding date to ensure that we have time to sculpt your topper and post it to you in advance.

Toppers can be made at short notice but we will have to confirm that we can meet your requirements if you place an order for completion in less than 12 weeks as we are booked out months in advance.

Once we receive the order we will send you an email with the order total and a PayPal email request for payment. On receipt of your payment your order will be confirmed by email.

How do we proceed with the Order
Once we receive the order details with photos we reserve dates for the toppers and work according to the wedding dates provided so that they are ready well in advance and dispatched 4 weeks minimum prior to wedding date (only if we receive order 12 weeks prior to wedding day)

We first send an image of the toppers when they are done to confirm that you have liked them and that we have not missed out on anything. Once we receive your OK we then dispatch them by registered delivery so you have a tracking number , and we offer free shipping worldwide for all our toppers.

How much advance notice is required to Order
Ideally we need 12 weeks of advance notice to make any cake topper. This is due to the fact that each cake topper is different and they are handmade. In case your wedding is within 4-12 weeks, please contact us using Contact form. We will let you know if we can accommodate your order.
