Cake Toppers & Ornaments

I have a little trouble with consistency.  I would like to promise that I'll post once per week from now on, but that wouldn't last long and then I would have lied to you.  So instead I will promise to post when I feel inspired, and hopefully that will be more often than once per month!

Here are a few cake toppers and ornaments from February:

Baby shower sock monkey cake topper for a girl

Red and blue bird ornaments for spring and summer.  Who said ornaments are just for Christmas?

Beach destination topper without the water, just a sand colored base with flowers and shells

3 inch sock monkeys with a heart.  It is a cake topper and an ornament too.

This little sock monkey smash cake topper has been so popular that now I offer him in 3" and 4" sizes, as well as with a name on the base.

Just click on the pictures to see them in my shop.

Thanks for stopping by!

Sock Monkey SMASH CAKE Toppers

Sometimes when ambitious party planning moms create fantastic parties for their little ones they have a regular sized cake for the party guests and they also have a very small "smash cake" for the birthday boy or girl to dig into.  This makes for fantastic photo opportunities!  Until recently I had a very tiny mini monkey serving as a smash cake topper in my shop, however at the request of many photo hungry mamas I was asked to make a slightly larger, more photogenic smash cake topper.

So here you have it...

 Smash cake topper with polka dots (and a red balloon add-on) for boys or girls.

and smash cake topper with flowers (and a red balloon add-on if desired) for girls.

The smash cake topper is only 3" tall.  I also made a matching 4.5" topper for the big cakes.

Thanks for stopping by, and I hope at your next sock monkey birthday party everyone has a SMASHING good time!

XOXO

Happy New Year!

I'm so excited about 2012 and the wonderful things to come!!! This year is sure to bring adventure and loads of creativity.

I added so many new styles of cake toppers to my shop in 2011, and I know there will be many more unique sculptures coming this year.

I have also started painting again.  I was so inspired to paint during the week after Christmas that I completed two paintings in one week!  That is a record for me.  I'll post soon with pictures of my paintings!

Happy New Year, may you be blessed with your deepest heart's desires in 2012!

The Best Job

The best job I can think of is one that I get to design for myself using my best talents.

This job would be fun, inspiring, creative, lucrative... oh, and I would also get to work at home on my own hours, and be my own boss.

Well guess what, that IS my job.  I feel very blessed.  

Here is a bit of my work week in pictures:

Princess Ballerina Birthday Monkey Cake Topper

I love it when someone asks me "Can you make a cake topper that looks like this?"

And then they show me a picture of a cute little monkey wearing a pink tutu with a princess crown and pink shoes! I had such fun putting this one together, and I added it as a shop listing. I hope to be making many more Princess Monkey birthday cake toppers!

Sock Monkey Birthday

Heather from "A Scrappy Design" did a feature on sock monkey birthday parties. Guess who she featured for the sock monkey birthday cake topper? Me. Thanks Heather!

Tiny Sock Monkey Tea Party

My studio is full of sock monkeys. I started out with one simple ornament, then he needed a friend, then the cake toppers emerged, and now mini monkeys are having a tea party on my studio table!

These three monkeys just love to play games. Today they are having a tea party. Suzie is playing the mom, isn't she proper with her tea and her legs crossed? (it's really hot chocolate) Bobby is the dad, he is trying to be so cool. Lucky little Jerry gets to be the birthday boy, and that's why he has the cupcake. Yum!


These little monkeys would be great in a dollhouse or on a shelf. There are three monkeys in three chairs, each monkey is attached to the chair, but not to the table.The table stands alone with two tea cups, also not attached.

Table 1" high; 1.25" diameter

the tallest monkey (birthday hat) is 2" including his chair

Baby Girl Sock Monkey Birthday Cake Topper

The wedding cake topper monkeys turned out so well, that one mom was inspired to have me create a similar cake topper for her baby girl, who is turning one in March!

She has a diaper and a beautiful base full of flowers. I love this one.

Sock Monkey Sculpture Menagerie

I'm still on a sock monkey kick. Baby G sleeps so well I've had time to keep up with my monkey obsession, so here are a few of my latest.

Josiah, my 10 year old daughter insisted I make a ballerina sock monkey, here she is:

I got a custom order for a one year old birthday cupcake tower topper monkey set, so here they are:

Let me know if you have any ideas for sock monkey sculptures, I'd love to give them a try!
