Well, here are a few cake toppers that I made that I’ve been pretty proud of. They were each for different clients who had different takes on some of their favorite characters.

Sometimes people ask if I’m contacted by grooms or brides more often. I think it is actually close to half and half, with the brides contacting me just a little more often.The very first one I did was a groom who wanted to surprise his bride with a topper where he wore a gas mask ...

I’ve often loved the Death Guard- they’re one of the forces that I first played in 40k- back when there weren’t enough Death Guard minis, so I had to convert horrific mutation on normal marine minis.The current lineup of minis for them are really impressive- the best they’ve ever had. For the color schemes on ...

Here are a few wedding cake toppers that I made. I love doing these fantasy themed cake toppers.I know that there are a few couples that I’ve made toppers for that were cosplaying for their weddings, but most of the time, I expect that they weren’t.

I’ve been playing Stuffed Fables lately- it is quite a nice dungeon crawler. One of the things that drew me to the game were the fantastic miniatures. Most of them are in that sweet spot between cute and creepy that comes out just brilliant. When I’m painting my own sets of minis, I tend to ...

Over the years, I find that certain fandoms have really dominated the wedding cake toppers that I’ve made. The first ones I did were all about the Zombie Apocalypse (I even got to make a topper for actors who met on the set of a George Romero film). Since then, I’ve seen fewer toppers that ...
