More Shower Preparations

So you know I'm trying to make Fimo/Sculpey cake toppers to match Baby O's nursery decor. I'm not *sure* about this shade of yellow, and I may repaint the yellow spots a more pastel tone of yellow, but tonight I got to work on painting the various pieces.






I'm not so tidy when I paint. :)

Cake Update

Well, I learned Fimo/Sculpey isn't quite as easy to work with in miniature as I thought. So, the cakes are not *exact* replicas. But, I hope they are close enough that you can tell they are "inspired" by the bride's cake and groom's cake, and I reallllllly hope the bride and groom like them. I can't decide if I should leave them as is, or if I should put some small hook in the top to make them Christmas ornaments (my original idea), or.... something else? Any ideas or opinions?

Without further ado, here they are...



Bride's cake (actual)



Bride's cake (sculpture)





Groom's cake (actual)



Groom's cake (sculpture)


What do you think--honestly?!?

I could maybe paint more card suits (club, spade, heart, diamond) onto the bottom layer of the groom's cake. And should I add some white "piping" to the bottom of each layer like the actual cake has? Also, for the bride's cake I could add more "dots" to the layers like the actual cake has, but I'm afraid it would become too busy at that point since it *is* in miniature.
