The wedding day has been set and things have been put in motion. Your oldest sister is finally going to marry her fiance. There is a lot to keep track of and a lot of folks are going to have a good deal to look after. You love her to pieces but frankly you are relieved she chose her best friend to be matron of honour for you aren't certain you could cope with the inevitable stress. You told her that you wanted to be responsible for the cake and she jumped at that offer almost immediately, after all not every one has a professional pastry chef for a kid sister. The cake will be magnificent you have no doubt of that at all, and to top it all off (quite literally) there will be customized bride/groom figurines. You're thinking of surprising her with them at the shower in a month if you can get them that quickly.

## I could maybe sculpt them myself or there's a friend of mine at art school but he's totally swamped...

While you may very well find someone you know who would be able to sculpt you a customized figurine, there's no need for that. You are able to, especially if time is tight, buy figurines online. It may sound surprising but these days, there are places that do customized figurines online.

## Custom-made cake toppers sounds like a pretty flimsy business, people make a living doing that?

Well, it is not just cake toppers. Websites, and yes there are numerous competing web sites to choose from, that specialize in personalized figurines will create them for all kinds of different occasions. The truth is a personalized figurine makes a clever fun gift.

## Okay, so what do I do?

First go online and do a Google search for "customized wedding figurine" or "custom bride/groom figurines" or something to that effect. You'll discover numerous competing sites. Then compare prices, production times and most significantly quality of work. All of these sites will have galleries of figurines and the photographs from which they were designed. When you find a website that you like, simply place your order.

## What are they going to need from me?

All these websites will have details of what they need but the short answer is 'photographs.' If you can come up with a few clear shots at somewhat different angles, that are fairly close up, showing good facial details, not too dramatically lit, and displaying nice natural expressions these websites should be able to craft a good likeness without any problem at all. The less they have to work from the more difficult the job and perhaps less spectacular the results.

It's simple these days to buy figurines online and expect good reasonably priced results fairly quickly. When you reveal your magnificent cake and folks recognize that the toppers are miniature versions of the bride and groom themselves it will be a perfect little moment. The best thing is that while your cake won't last the night, the toppers will afford them an excellent memory for years to come.
