Project Wedding Cake Toppers

DESIGNED BY DURENE JONES

Pair up these heads and outfits to create the perfect

couple as cute cake toppers for a creative wedding gift

the cake

A

gorgeous cake is usually the

centrepiece of any wedding.

Take this tasty tradition to the

next level by making the happy couple

into sweet stitchy figures to stand at

the centre of the top tier. So, instead

of picking a present from a registry

list, you can gift them something

personal that they’ll cherish forever.

Durene has created a collection

of faces and costumes to choose

from. With a variety of hair lengths,

styles and colours, as well as options

for glasses, head pieces and facial

hair, you’ll find just what you need

to create an exact match. You’ll be

amazed at the detail that has gone

into each outfit – three unique suit

styles (a fitted suit, an elegant tailcoat

and even a Scottish-style suit with a

tartan kilt) and three different types

of dress (princess dress, A-line dress

with a cardigan and a long, flowing

gown). Best of all, you can even swap

out the colours to suit skin tones and

to fit in with the wedding theme –

the possibilities are endless!

Icing on

I always think a stitched gift makes an

already special wedding day even more

special, and what better way to celebrate than

with personalised cross-stitched cake toppers?

These’ll be treasured for years to come.
