Who: The Groom
What: The Groom's Cake
Where: Our wedding, of course!
When: A very limited time frame (the wedding is so close!)
Why: This is a huge problem because Andrew wanted a groom's cake that embraced three different themes. Yes, three! And you can't imagine how different and difficult these three things are to put together in a not-scary way.
Meet my challenge...
I had to get Xbox HALO, Coldplay, and the Florida Gators all on the same cake!
Come on now, all three on a cake would be ridiculous, admit it. :O)
So, we cancelled the groom's cake altogether. Until...
One of my very favorite brides at Solutions Bridal shares a similar love of handmade things as I do. I was delighted when she informed me of an awesome sculptor in Portland, Oregon who features her customizable work on Etsy. {More on this awesome bride to come tomorrow!}
So I contacted Hilary {Bunny with a tool belt}, and told her about my dilemma. We went back and forth with ideas several times. She sketched, I sketched, and we came up with the perfect plan.... a cake topper that incorporates all three themes!! The best part, she finished the topper in about a week, and it was on my doorstep in no time! Thanks Hilary!!!
Check out the picture of my sketch:
And here's two photos of the final product:
Btw, this really was supposed to be a top secret surprise for Andrew, but I'm no good at keeping secrets. I got so excited about it that I showed him, and he loves them too!
