Cake toppers - can anyone help!

You can always ask her! She did say she was quite busy at the moment but there's no harm in asking

Oh Hayley I really want to help, camels sound ace (love an animal topper me!) but I am snowed under at the moment... I won't know till probably Monday if I can get through commissions this weekend fast enough to be able to squeeze you in and don't want to leave you with no time to source anything else in case I can't do it...

Happy to let you know Monday but don't want to let you down either x

I really like these toppers so i have my fingers crossed that you can get some in time

They look like they could be made from Fimo type clay, if you're feeling creative!

Could a local cake/sugar craft person do them for you?

Randomly found these dont know if you could customise them somehow??

Obv they arnt as good as 'proper' ones but just an idea! Good luck

Thank you everyone for your replies and your ideas!

MrsC - I've private messaged you on facebook, hope thats okay.

Hope MrsC can fit you in Hayley - you're in safe, talented hands if she does!

So sweety, i like them too!

Woah!, I daresay the original artist of those camels will either want to sue you or hire you....

I agree TT! I'm sure that most businesses use their imagination rather than copying other people's work, to stop any copyright accusations as well as for artistic integrity.

I'm sure HM was going for something along this style, rather than a copy ?

It's not really hard to make these things- at least if you know how to use the clay. She asked for something similar by saying "I like these" - I simply made something similar. She could quite easily make her own in a similar style as well.

It is my own style, bigger eyes, different bow, different size feet and ears; I can see how you would think they were more similar.

All I wanted to do was see if I could help is all.

Sorry to offend.

We were just offering friendly advice to prevend you either a) creating a bad impression or b) upsetting another artist

If I was as skilled at these things then I think I would look at a few pictures of an animal or cartoons and then get inspiration to sketch out a design. I agree they have slightly different features, but I'm sure the original artist would say they were too similar?

Have you sorted your HIB status yet? ?

ETA: I should remember to quote posts I reply to before they are edited! (is this post ironic now I've edited it?)

I saw some cool toppers and my friend is having a go with some fimo after saying no offense will be taken if I don't end up using them. Alternatively marzipan might work?
