I think the cake topper is almost as tall as the actual cake. And I think I actually kind of like this cake topper too. Im not much of a cake topper kind of guy. And now I think Im just going to see how many times I can mention the words cake topper in this post.

Cake...

Top(per) tier 6" = Chocolate Raspberry Mousse Torte
Middle tier 10" = Orange Almond
Bottom tier 14" = Strawberry Grand Marnier

Covered with Buttercream and the champagne bubble design with a sage green ribbon at the base of each tier.

For 100 people at the Adobe Lodge at Santa Clara University.

PS-Cake Topper.

    Is that Lladro?

    I've always been fond of the artist's work.

    That's a beautiful cake topper, and the cake too.

      I was going to say; really looks like a Lladro to me. We have a few (inherited) and even though i'm also very much not into cake toppers or tchotchkes, they're very lovely.

        Haha, I was going to point out too that it's Lladro-esque. I never thought about using a Lladro as a cake-topper, but I really like the way it looks.

    It is a beautiful cake topper, to be sure, and a most lovely cake.

    Beautiful!

    I'll have to post the picture of my wedding cake project. I based it off one of your cakes because your cake was so, so pretty. Mine was all right. It'll be a while because my instructor, bless her heart, is not so tech savvy.

      Haha, thanks, I've been keeping an eye on that site through one of the game sites I read. I really need to step it up and submit a cake for that.

    Cake topper? Cake, cake top? Or topper de la cake?

    Actually it does work. It's nice.

  • How lovely!

    I was in Japan, which own an art beside a bakery, ice cream and cake, such as those who write a blog. Arbitrary, but in the future I hope it will help link. If it's okay, my blog also links please. ICE CREAM JAZZ～SWEETS in Japan～ (http://toro-abcsong.blogspot.com/)

    I love the topper. I wish I could find one like it.

    i too, noticed that the cake topper reminded me of Lladro. I have never thought of using Lladro as a cake topper. It makes a lovely cake topper. The cake topper makes the already gorgeous cake even sweeter.

    Oooh... pretty Lladro cake topper (or is it Nao? I want to reach through the PC, lift it up and check the bottom to be sure).

    ETA: Yes, that is Lladro. The piece is called "Everlasting Love." :)

    It is Lladro. Google is useful.

    That cake topper is very 'Jane Austin.' I like it as well.

    The cake topper adds a certain elegance to the entire cake.:)

    I am SOOOOOOOO glad you're back! I missed looking at cakes, it may have even dampered the enjoyment of reading my friends page knowing I hadn't seen one of your posts in a while. It's so hard to plan a wedding and figure out what kind of cake you want. I keep looking at your cakes for inspiration. So far that really bright blue one you had a while back with white swag like fondant draping down the side is my favourite.

    On the topic of cake toppers, do you find a lot of people use them these days? Or is the general trend to have flowers?

      Id say a fair share of people use cake toppers.

      And thanks, it's good to be back. Sometimes you need to go away to figure out where you are.

    Yummy cake, yummier CAKE TOPPER.

    Haha, thanks for the laugh. ;-) I have to say, though, that the topper looks like it's made out of porcelain and heavier than the cake itself... and that it can fall off and break into pieces!

    haha, that was what I thought before I even scrolled down to see what you had to say about it. "that cake topper is way too big for that cake" I do like it though. Just doesn't look quite balanced.

    Wait, what's that thing on top of the cake? ;)

    Did this cake have a topper? :P

    That looks like a Lladro sculpture. Those are normally very heavy. May I ask how you managed to get the cake to support its weight? Thanks.
