Last night on RTE’s new show Higher Ground, you might have seen Jill FitzGerald and her Cake Topper Business. Jill handmakes personalised cake toppers for wedding and occasion cakes. They can be as quirky or traditional as you choose…the limit is your imagination! Is your groom a big GAA-head or Rugby buff? Maybe you play classical violin or are a doctor? Jill can create characters that represent the happy couple and ad a fun element to the wedding cake.
“Using photographs of the happy couple, and including quirky details for that added touch of humour, these caricatures of the bride and groom can incorporate uniforms, hobbies, sports, county colours, or be more traditional in their wedding attire. Pets, children and other additions can of course be included too – the choice is yours!”
The pieces are modelled by hand using coloured polymer clays (Fimo), so your topper not only features on your wedding cake, but also acts as a permanent keepsake of your wedding day. Beware though – you can’t eat them!
Jill also suggests giving the toppers as an unusual and personal wedding gift. Just make sure to order in time (at least 6 weeks before the wedding date). A handmade personalised cake topper from Jill will set you back about €120.00. Get some inspirational ideas on the website: www.caketoppersireland.com
