5 out of 5 starsThe doctor and nurse cake toppers are really cute. They will add a different and fun look to the cake we are having made for our 45th wedding anniversary party. Thanks for adding the x-ray piece to further personalize the doctor figure. I did not order the stand for the toppers, not realizing that it was a separate item- so this is a head's up for future buyers.
Great working with you! Thanks! -

5 out of 5 starsMy cake topper is absolutely amazing! We have a custom design of a Cat, Mouse and little puppy. My fiance and I couldn't be more pleased by the beauty of our item as well as the courteous and timely correspondences from Lisa. The entire process was easy and fun, we even received a beautiful hand drawn card with our order! I highly recommend this shop and would buy from here again! I look forward to recommending my family and friends here as well!
Shop policies
We want you to have the best experience possible, so please look over our store policies before making your purchase.
Please send an email or Etsy Conversation if you have any requests or questions, and we will try to accommodate you as best we can. :)
Accepted payment methods
Returns and exchanges
Our handmade polymer clay jewelry, like any handmade jewelry, should be treated with gentle care. It is not meant for children under the age of 14. Though getting caught in the rain should not cause harm to your piece, it should be removed prior to showering, bathing, washing hands (if a ring or bracelet), or swimming.
Polymer clay is quite durable, however, it is not completely unbreakable. Should a piece break or should an eye-pin come out of a charm, you can easily repair it with any strong adhesive such as Super Glue, E-6000, or Loctite. We use Loctite glue for our pieces, and though it is a high-quality, strong adhesive, there is no perfect adhesive. That being said, fortunately pieces don't often break, but if they do, glue can be applied quickly and easily.
We have done careful research and experimentation over the years with artist materials for use in our work. However, sometimes things happen that are beyond our control as artists. Our pieces, therefore, are not indestructible. If something should happen to your piece, such as paint or gloss peeling or scratching off despite your careful treatment of your piece, you can return it to us for repair. We will repair it free of charge up to one year from the date of purchase, and you will be responsible only for shipping charges.
Due to the time and materials put into our custom-made items (including cake toppers), fifty percent of the amount of the sale is non-refundable should you change your mind after your order has been placed and production has begun.
Payment
Buyers outside of the US are responsible for any taxes, duties, and customs charges that may be incurred. We are not responsible for any delays, duties or taxes incurred or delays due to customs. Please contact your local post office for more information. You may be required to pick up your item when paying for duties and taxes. Although we ship using USPS Priority Mail Express International, please be aware that international shipping can take 8 weeks or more, depending upon your country.
Shipping
You will receive a tracking number when your order ships. Please ensure someone is at home to receive your order when it arrives. If your order is $50 or over, it will require a signature. If no one is available to receive it, your postal carrier will leave a notification. We are not responsible for missing orders that are marked as "delivered" by the USPS.
Combined Shipping
We combine shipping for multi-item purchases! This includes simultaneous purchases made within ANY of our Etsy shops, The Happy Acorn, Wee Wood Be Pals (WeeWoodBePals.etsy.com), One Ringy Dingy (OneRingyDingy.etsy.com), and The Vintage Pickle (TheVintagePickle.etsy.com). Any orders you place at the same time with any of these shops will be packaged together with a combined shipping rate. You will receive a partial shipping refund.
International Shipping:
We are no longer shipping outside of the United States. We apologize for the inconvenience.
Express Shipping
If you are in need of Express Shipping, please send us a message and we will adjust the shipping rate for you in the listing you would like to purchase.
----------------------------------------------------------
CAKE TOPPER SHIPPING
Within the US:
We ship USPS Priority within the United States, which normally takes 2 to 3 business days. Please allow at least 7 business days for delays. Although delays don't happen often, I have seen it happen, so it is best to leave a little wiggle room. You will receive a USPS Tracking Number for you to track your package so you can ensure that someone will be home to receive your package when it arrives as it will require a signature. If no one is available to receive it, your postal carrier will leave a notification.
Internationally:
We are no longer shipping outside of the United States. We apologize for the inconvenience.
Additional policies and FAQs
We love and appreciate all of our customers, and we work hard to make sure you are happy with your purchases. We are friendly and honest. Please feel free to email or Etsy Conversation any questions, comments, complaints, or concerns you might have.
OUR PIECES
Our creations are our original designs, from sketchbook to sculpt, and are all 100% handmade with lots of love. You can be assured that your piece has been expertly made with the utmost care, is of the highest quality, and was professionally created by an experienced artist. We love what we do, and we want you to love what you buy from us.That ideal is the core of every piece we create.
Please do not ask, as we will never replicate another artist's work.
