There’s something magical about celebrating someone you love. Birthdays especially hold a little extra sparkle — and when a close friend wanted to make her bestie’s 18th birthday unforgettable, she came to me with the most heartfelt mission: “Help me make her cake truly special.”
After chatting and bouncing around a few ideas, we landed on something that perfectly captured the birthday girl’s essence — a custom air-dry clay figurine cake topper, lovingly handcrafted just for her. This wasn’t just any topper. It was a miniature moment frozen in time: the birthday girl, seated gracefully with a teacup in hand, surrounded by her two beloved dogs, enjoying a whimsical tea party.
Why a Tea Party?
The idea of a tea party felt right — soft, elegant, and filled with charm. It’s more than a theme; it’s a mood. And for an 18th birthday, it brought just the right blend of youthful joy and grown-up grace. The figurine captured her mid-laughter, cup in hand, with her dogs (complete with their own little teacups!) by her side. It wasn’t just a decoration — it was a story on top of a cake.
A Personal Gift with Personality
The friend who commissioned this topper was incredibly thoughtful. She wanted something that spoke to their friendship, to the girl’s love for her pets, and to her sweet, slightly whimsical personality. That’s the beauty of custom cake toppers — they tell a story that no store-bought decoration ever could.
Whether it’s a milestone birthday, an anniversary, or “just because,” I love working with people to dream up little sculptures that feel personal and meaningful. Sometimes it’s as simple as a favorite hobby, a memory, or a pet — and sometimes it’s a full-on scene like a birthday tea party!
