Come fry with me

This cake top has a little camping stove complete with fry up! I made all the bits and pieces except for the frying pan itself. It's a real metal pan with a wooden handle and very dinky, it's from a dollshouse shop. I then added the eggs and sausages to make it look more authentic, and it sits just nicely on the camping stove I made for it. There are also doc martin boots with flowers in, (the groom is wearing his green wellies!) a travel guide and a map, all on a nice grassy base to set the scene... Dollshouse suppliers are useful for those little items that are difficult to make- like metal pans and spades, or wine glasses made from real glass, and they are great for musical instruments! Red electric guitars I find difficult to track down tho, so do give me a shout if you spot any!

Caketop... chop chop!!!

Isn't February chilly? But it's St Valentine's day soon folks, so I'm sure that will warm things up a bit! In the spirit of lurve, the Webmaster has added little pink heart favicons to the website. Actually, it was really for a webmasterly type reason to do with the website migrating from one place in the ether to another, which was to happen in such a seemless manner that the hearts were needed to know it had worked! They're great tho I think, so we'll keep 'em!

Now if your groom just so happens to be a black belt in karate, then he is welcome to do a high kick and a karate chop on a cake top if you so desire... whatever he wants he can have I say! He has bare feet too on this cake top, so lets hope his tootsies are not
feeling the cold,
...perhaps he'll get some
nice woolly socks on St Valentines day...

Meanwhile here's a lovely cake top which shows how some apparently random elements can add that extra personal and sometimes cryptic touch! The reasons behind a sheep, potatoes, newspaper (with crossword!), laptop and some daffodils shall remain a romantic mystery...
