5 out of 5 starsVery nice! The bride is very happy. We even asked for it to be painted a different color after it was done! She was very understanding, and extremely nice about it. It is exactly as we hoped for. Thank you!!

5 out of 5 starsLove this so much! Sent some photos of myself and my fiancé, and out planned outfits for the day of, and we are thrilled with how it came out! Holly worked with me and was willing to answer all of my questions in the months leading up to my actually placing the order. It came in was so securely packaged to ensure there was no damage during the delivery, which we really appreciated. So excited to share this with our guests and keep it as a momento for years to come!

5 out of 5 starsAbsolutely perfect cake topper in every way! From my first email to her, Holly responded promptly and professionally...I never worried that our order would come as we had requested. It was delivered yesterday and packed incredibly carefully. Would recommend ordering from her without reservation! Can't wait to see it on my daughter's wedding cake! Thanks so much, Holly!

Just a normal day at the office!
Living a Dream Come True
My shop started with an idea and a dream. My dream was to be a self employed artist who loved her job. The idea was to create unique sculptures as wedding cake toppers. That dream and that idea became reality for me.
But the real story is how I got to that idea and dream. In early 2011 I was faced with losing my job, I was given 3 months notice. In that time I had some hard questions to work out. I could go and get another graphic design job, working for a low wage and doing a job I only sort of liked. I could go back to school, but I already had 6 years post secondary education, including a Bachelor of Fine Arts, Sterile Supply Certificate, and Advanced Wed Design Certificate. There were no other programs that I wanted to take or could afford. That dream I had to be a self employed artist...was that a possibility? I decided that since I was young (in my 20's) that taking that leap of self employment would be better now then later. With the support of my amazing husband (then boyfriend) I was able to take that leap and give it a try. I had no idea if it would work out or not, and there was a lot of anxiety and unknowns. But it did work, and I am so thankful to the people and clients who have supported me in my journey.
I have never been happier in my life then I am now. I love going to work every morning, I enjoy the over time and fulfilling almost every role in the business, and there are a lot of them! It doesn't feel like work when you love doing what you're doing.
I love when brides tell me I've made them something so special they will treasure it forever. It is an honor to help someone with their special day and to be a tiny part of it.
Each order is unique and has it's own challenges. It is a blessing to be able to do what I do and I treasure that every day.
I think you can tell from my toppers that I love animals :) I want to give back to animals the joy they bring to me, so I donate some of my proceeds monthly to the World Wildlife Fund.
I love that people are enjoying my cake toppers! Recently I have been featured in many treasuries on Etsy, a huge thanks to everyone who included me! I have also been included in many collections on ArtFire. I have also been featured on several blogs. One of them being http://asignatureexperience.wordpress.com/2011/08/22/custom-cake-toppers/
I appreciate the kind words and encouragement I have received from customers, bloggers, and artists alike.
My passion is my art! I would like nothing else than to be able to create art for the rest of my life. And I love sharing my craft and helping others find joy in custom works of art just for them.
Each topper I make is unique and individual, they are fun to make and they are fun to receive. I work on each piece for several hours and love every minute of it.
I do take custom orders if you can't find what you are looking for.

TAKING CARE of your topper:
Caring for your topper is really easy! First keep it out of direct sunlight, this will help to preserve the colors. Second if you can keep dust off of it, then great, keeping in a cabinet is best! If you can't then dusting with a dry cloth will work. And most importantly don't drop your topper!
