How We Work

I set up Mini Me Models because I always had a huge interest in art and working with my hands.  

The idea for cake toppers came to me shortly before my brothers wedding a number of years ago.  The bride and groom were remodelling a vintage car and wanted a model of the car on top of their cake and asked me to recreate it.  It was a hit at the wedding and I was being asked for more and more cake toppers by friends and family.   

The process of making the cake topper is a long one.  I start (most of the time) by getting a photo of the couple (as well as any dogs, cats, cars, etc that they may want to include).  I more often than not sketch the faces of the couple to a cartoon likeness. 

 

The next step is to make the head. I work the clay to the general shape of the head adding the features bit by bit.  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Then I make the body of the models with the details the couple have requested (jerseys, uniforms etc).  I then bake the model.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Once the cake topper is fully set  I add on the finishing touches. I then gloss the cake topper and fix to the base. 

 

As simple as this all sounds, some cake toppers can take up to eight hours to complete.  I am a stickler for detail and want to make each cake topper unique for the couple.   People are always amazed to see the extent of the detail in each model but I believe it is the small details that give my Cake Toppers character.
