New Christmas cake toppers in the shop!  Shown here are hand-cut paper banners in "Merry Christmas" and "Peace, Joy, Love".   These would look lovely on a cake, of course, but just as festive as a mini garland for your tree or for decorating your mantle.

Thank you so much to a lovely customer for sending me a photo from this super cute fox-themed birthday party.  I really enjoyed creating the custom cake topper in navy, burnt orange and cream, but I have to admit, that little fox really takes the cake :)  Thank you again, and I hope the day was wonderful!

Inspiration: Beautiful Berkshires

My family and I just got back from an amazing vacation to the Berkshires in western Massachusetts.
We spent time hiking, canoeing, visiting local farms and farmers markets, and enjoying all the beautiful scenery.  With autumn in all its glory, I couldn't help but come back with lots of inspiration for the shop.  Enjoy the photos!

When it comes to making cake toppers, we don't monkey around...unless it's for a sock-monkey theme, of course :)  Thank you to one of my lovely customers who shared this photo from a baby shower.
