Red face My little cake topper

As some of you know, I'm tying the knot in June.. and in case you didn't know - weddings are expensive!

I'm trying to do a few things differently at my wedding.. I don't really like cheesiness and such .. When I was shopping around for a cake topper, I found most of them to be pretty cheesy .. and expensive! If you want them to look like you, you're looking at prices between $100-$300!

So, originally, I asked my FH (future husband) to try and make one, because he's a very talented artist.. He made one, but it ended up looking cheesy (no offence honey!).. So I decided to try and make my own.. It only cost $10 for the clay, and the paint was FH's, so free!

There is still some touching up to do, and FH's body parts kept falling off when I tried to bake him So I have to fix it, but I'm kinda proud of my little guys, so I wanted to share..

Oh, and once "little FH's" body is put back together, I'll have them together and it'll (hopefully) look like they are giving each other a high five.. Either that, or they're both singing "Stop in the Name of Love"

here's "little me"





And here's "little FH" (I had to hold up his arm)



Thanks for looking! (Oh, and I'm NOT crafty at all, so that's why I'm extra proud of these little guys!)

Aww, thanks guys!
Once they are done (read: little FH's glued back together), I'll try and take a pic of them together, so you get a sense of the 'high five' I was going for.

He sure went kicking and screaming into that oven.. He almost ended up just being a torso!

$60? Wow! I'm trying to think of anything in my wedding that will cost that much, and I'm drawing a blank .. and feeling a little

Well, my cake will be free - my sister's making it!
She's never made a wedding cake before, so we'll see what happens - good thing I don't really like cake

I just hope it doesn't end up like some of the cakes on this site
