What are you having as Cake Toppers? Anyone seen any Minis? Opinions Please!

I think it's a great idea, but then I'm looking for a VW T25 Camper just like our own, but like you I'm not having much luck.

Sorry I can't help, but good look with your search x

I was thinking about having a topper made of us in, or next to a mini, haven't gotten around to seeing whether anyone will do it or how much it'd cost though :/ luckily for us a '72 pick up or a '92 mayfair done up to look like a cooper would do!

I've had a search and can't find one, I would have thought that die cast models would be your best bet, but I could only find red versions of other models, sorry.

Have you tried asking on theminiforum whether anyone has one that they'd be willing to sell to you, or just asking in general on there might get you a model!

Are these any good to you? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Corgi-Minis-Special-3-Red-Hot-Ritz-Jet-Black-93715-/310296053599?pt=UK_ToysGames_DiecastVehicles_DiecastVehicles_JN&hash=item483f16075f

Our cake lady is making a copy of OH sports car with him sticking his head out of the window with a glass of champagne and me on the bonnet. It will be iced but inedible so we will keep it.

Does it need to be replicas or would you have "cartoonesque" clay versions of minis?

Oooh a paul smith mini!!!

Have you tried Grandprixlegends? x

I saw those ones! The prob is they are £30 for 3 and I only need one of those ones [Red Hot] Thanks for looking for me though!

They lok lovely but are about £190 ? lil bit more than I was looking to pay

Would a toy one do? Someone once gave me a little Mini hot wheels type thing as a joke cos I have always wanted a mini, and they picked it up in tesco extra for a few quid from the toy section.

Would any of these do? I think cars is a great idea. My OH and i are trying to find a rabbit and a bear for ours.

I love the Mini idea!

We couldn't find any we liked so have decided not to bother, instead we are putting 2 pots of Play Doh on each table and asking people to design us some toppers. The best table gets a prize, and will see their topper in pride of place later on that evening I expect. We weren't too bothered about having anything specific on the top of the cake but we do want people to have a fun day so this seemed like a good solution!

Thats an idea TT, am going to have a look in model shops and see whats about. Or if not Toys R Us etc

Hi I saw some mini with a union Jack Roof on them this morning in Asda - they were part of an Easter egg, they were nice ?

I thought you could maybe use the silver one as "you", and then they're £15 each (so cheaper than the one in your OP) with a spare! But it's not the same model as the one you linked, and I'm not even sure if they're the same scale. That one on ebay seems to be the only model version of the "Red Hot" variant around, couldn't find any more. There are other red minis around though, if it doesn't have to be Red Hot, try Model Zone or the Corgi and Matchbox websites.

Thanks for looking for me, Im kinda torn because I could just get any old silver and red mini and that was what I was planning to do but now I have found little versions of our first cars i now have that idea in my head- silly eh?!!
