Top-o-the-Cake

Welcome

Welcome to the Top-o-the-Cake website, a place to get one of a kind cake toppers and other small sculptures. Each unique piece is a blend of your imagination (infinite), the capabilities of polymer clay (considerable) and Top-o–the-Cake craftsmanship.

There are many beautiful ready-made toppers available but if you’re planning a Renaissance wedding or would like the couple on the cake to match the couple at the altar in colors and style then TotC may be the option you’re looking for. If you met in Las Vegas then a couple taking a chance together at the slots might be a possibility. Or if during your romantic riverside picnic was when you knew he was the one maybe that moment belongs on your cake. I had a non-traditional topper and have been married over 25 years. That may not be the reason but why take chances?

The primary medium at TotC is polymer clay. It is versatile modeling clay that accepts a wide range of coatings from natural to stone to bronze to psychedelic spatter painting. Treated with normal care the topper will commemorate your special event for many years.

In the end it’s about getting you a topper that reflects you and your wedding. So please enjoy the gallery but don’t let it limit your ideas. Think about what truly reflects you and then fire off that email to TotC. Thank-you for stopping by and

Mazel tov!!

Finishes

I mentioned in my last post considering painting the film noir topper in gray tones to go with the old B&W movie theme. The bride ultimately decided on a full color version which looks outstanding. This is the benefit of a custom piece. You get to decide all these details. Anything you don't want to worry about you can just delegate to me.

But back to my point, on the whimsies page is a piece called God Monkey Odin. I really like this finish. It gives a fantastic richness to what is a relatively small sculpture. So if you're thinking about a piece consider some other options besides natural colors.

Film Noir

Just shipped off an interesting project with a film noir theme. It's the featured topper right above this post. We ended up doing full color but had considered a black and white. It would have been cool but I do like the drama of this version.
