    love    August 28, 2010  

    So at first i was annoyed that every cute cake topper i saw had blonde hair since Im brunette. It was hard finding a match also because my fiance is Caucasian. So after looking at probably every cake topper that exist.lol. I read a post about another bride that painted her cake topper....so thanks to her i decided i would try it myself. Boy am i glad i did :D i loveee my topper now. I used really cheap paint and the porcelain observed the paint really fast and good. check out my pictures.

     

     

    ps. i kinda regretted painting the shoes...but i plan on wearing blue heels at my wedding so if anything i made it more personal :)

    It looks nice!  I like that you changed the shoe color...it definitely does make it more personal, and adds a fun pop!

    Very nice!  I like that you personalized your topper and the shoes just give it that little something extra.  :0

    I was thinking of painting one like this: http://shop.hobbylobby.com/products/prince-and-princess-cake-topper-964825/

     I don't like how it's all one color. Is there any way I could paint it without it looking stupid?

    You did such a good job!! I'm Chinese and my fiance is half-Chinese so I'm have a seriously hard time finding a cake topper that even remotely looks like us! You have inspired me to attempt painting... =)

    That looks great. My FI paints little figures for his "dork" stuff, I should see if he would want to do this!

    @Ryna- Yes, miniatures. Haha. My FI said he doesn't really want to paint our cake topper though. Good luck to you and your FI with yours!

    love    August 28, 2010  

    Thank you all for the compliments :D

     

    @SweetRose2011: i agree with you. it would for sure look better with paint. I would do it for sure. It just look unfinished without paint. and plus i think it would look great if u painted it.

    littlelynx: i used regular acrylic "craft smart" paint from michaels (under $1)

    but im sure any paint would work to be honest. 

    this bottle looks like this...

    @Carpie: thanks!  lol, it'll be fun, 'cause we'll probably end up putting the cake topper up as a decoration with our other minis and fantasy type toys (I have a blue dragon in the D&D line! LOL!)

    You did an EXCELLENT job painting this!  I'd have never guessed that it didn't come with dark hair and blue shoes.
