Wedding Cake Tops

-by Dorian

The turtle is metaphor for the creative source, adaptability, love, protection, healing, and knowledge. They are also patient but persistent, a perfect marriage partner.

The alternate 2 design cake top, showcasing a whimsical turtle couple in wedding attire (sculpture by Castagna of Italy), was created by request for a vineyard theme (the reception was held in a vineyard), hence grapes were included.

Now grapes, by turning into wine, live. As separate grapes, they would vanish over time, but by joining to become one, they remain, and the longer they remain, the better the wine becomes, as does a good marriage.

In the first design, the cute turtle bride & groom cuddle in a meadow of pink roses with ferns while a  pink dragonfly circles lazily overhead. Iridescent rainbow glitter dust completes all designs.

The alternate design features purple flowers and a butterfly Alternate 3 has lavender & white flowers, the next, an oval base, and the last features a bee. Please specify style & colors by email or on the order confirmation page.

I will customize any cake top to your color choices in tulle and flowers if I have them in stock (see "Colors" link). Choose your theme of wedding flower. Feather butterflies or other figurines may be added to this design if desired. E-mail me with any questions.

 This top is a full round display measuring 4 1/2 inches diameter at the base and 5 1/2 inches tall to the dragonfly (or butterfly or bee). Photos will be emailed before shipping upon request.

This design was conceived and handcrafted by Dorian.
