Cake Dolls

They're done!

Pretty cute! I am rather pleased with them.

Most of the ones I've seen on the web were made with fimo, which is a bit heavy for a cake, so I've used paper mache and polystyrene balls and shapes to make the couple.

The paper mache is a bit textourous. but overall its pretty cute.

I bought some paper flowers at the $2 shop. (favourite craft shop), The veil is made from an old organza bag, and the little bride will be carrying a single red rose.

But why stop at one??? I got a bit carried away and now I have 3 pairs to play with.

I did a chinese couple, using red and gold japanese paper. She looks just as pretty as she did in white and Steph? Well doesn't he look as pleased as punch!


From Cake Dolls
The last couple are the big ones, using the same head size, this is the full bell, the minis use half an Easter Egg as their body and the Chinese couple use a bell with the bottom cut off. Eva also has her hair up in a bun, which her veil is pinned to, using a jewellery pin head.

Since taking the photo, I've updated the veil and added diamante sequins. I'm thinking about trimming the base of the bride with lace.

Anyway tell me what you guys think?
Should I make more?
What about the texture? I think if I use plaster of paris, I might be able to smooth out the texture.
