‘Any cook can make food taste good but it takes a great cook to make food taste good til the last bite’.

I came across a post about a great Cordon Bleu chef and he said the above statement. For those that are interested this chef actually is in Kuala Lumpar and name is chef Lee. Don’t know how many Lee’s there are there but I bet there is a whole lot. So what is the point of this post?

Well I wanted to bring the point up that many people are happy with surface and superficial quality, but when it comes down to the crunch for memorable events you really want to go that little bit extra and have things “taste good til the last bite”.

Especially for your wedding. Are you settling for something that is just “good” or do you want to make the even trully memorable.If you want to have your wedding cake that much more memorable, consider checking out and getting custom wedding cake toppers from http://www.MiniMeGifts.com – you’ll be happy til the last bite

It’s such a romantic ideal that many of us have had since we were youngsters and some of us would like to bring a bit of that dream into reality.

It’s such a boring thing having wedding cake toppers that don’t do anything to enhance your medieval ideal. You might have already picked a theme that would do you proud .

What does medieval wedding cake toppers represent? Romanticism, old fashioned chivalry, bravery, heroism and adventure. What a great message to send everyone at your wedding. It’s also a great way to show your partner how much you love them with this very subtle message.

Even though it was centuries ago when all this first came about, it’s never too late to bring those times back with your own medieval wedding cake toppers.

Here’s what one blogger recently said about wedding cake toppers:

“Personally, I’m against cake toppers. Everyone knows they’re at a wedding, so why ruin your gorgeous, expensive cake with a plastic bride and groom who don’t even look like you? “

While I disagree about the “worst” part, I do agree that they don’t look anything like the people that are getting married. (Also sometimes you want to add a little flash and pizazz to an otherwise very plain looking cake). At least they show a little character and attitude of the couple. If you are after a custom wedding cake topper that is looks a little more like you then you should check out www.MiniMeGifts.com – all you need to do is choose your theme/bodies and send in your photos. Couldn’t be easier!

Here’s a quick video about some custom figurines!

Unique wedding cake toppers are all the rage these days. A select group of people that the public adore and you’ve probably seen at the cinemas, the tabloids or on TV have been getting these done for their wedding cakes for years.

Why do they get unique wedding cake toppers when there are supposedly so many available on the market? It’s because they want to feel unique and special. Movie stars and celebrities want to be set apart from the crowd and tell the world and the wedding guests that “yes, I am special” (why else would they name their kids unusual names like Shiloh Nouvel, or Suri). They believe that they deserve better and more of the good life.

You Can Get Your Own Unique Wedding Cake Topper Sculpted Too!

Certainly items that are customized are more accessible to them as it goes with their extraordinary levels of income. Although for us mere mortals times are a changing because unique wedding cake toppers are being made available to you without the massive price tags! Believe it or not, it can cost $1500-$3000 to have your own unique sculpt of the bride and groom to be placed on the cake. The process takes weeks to complete although the price is a little more than most are willing to pay results are worth it.

Now you’re probably asking yourself “would I spend that much for unique wedding cake toppers like that?” Well that would depend on you but what if you could get your unique wedding cake toppers for the fraction of the price and yet still have a high quality of workmanship?

There is a way and with advances in the process of sculpting and demand of custom figurines like these are going up in the world – it’s been possible to bring prices right down.

Boy,

The Olympics in China has opened and it seems EVERYONE is getting married on the 08/08/08. It’s an easy date to remember so husbands that get married on this day won’t forget in the future. Also many wedding businesses have had to take on more staff because of the extra customers for this “special date.”

One thing I have noticed is that the 2008 Olympic ceremony in China has opened on this very special date as well. Why is that? I had to ask this question as to why is this a special time of the year (well of this century actually)? You’ll find out why in just a second.

The Meaning of 888

The number 888 a very prosperous and very good luck number for the Chinese. And I quote from a Chinese translated text:

“888 is to carry a good omen or blessing for prosperity”.

To find out why it’s such a good omen you have to look at the Cantonese language – the southern Chinese dialect that is widely spoken in Hong Kong. The word “eight” is pronounced “faat.” It sounds a lot like the beginning of Cantonese phrase “faat hai,” which means “to earn money.” Cantonese speakers say that coincidence makes 888 about the luckiest trio of digits in Chinese culture.

Essentially “888” means to bring more money, or to have more money.

The China 2008 Olympics, Triple 8, and Weddings

On Friday, on Aug. 8, 2008, at 8:08 p.m. in Beijing, the Olympic Games will begin in China. It’s to kick off the new beginning for the emerging superpower and even the politicians are banking on this prosperous omen (whether they believe in it or not much of China does!)

So what does this have to do with weddings? Well many couples would like to have prosperous lives and are getting married on the 08/08/08. This is supposed to be extremely lucky for their new life together. Is this true? Who knows, but it’s better to try and get as much luck as possible right? It never hurts to have some more luck and money.

Some have even put the number “8” around their wedding cake or as a wedding cake topper!

To all those couples that managed to get married on the 08/08/08 I sincerely hope the best for you in your new lives together. And if you missed out, you can always catch the next special round in 08/08/88 – or 80 years time.

If you missed out on 08/08/08 to get married but would still like to add a little something special, try a custom wedding cake topper or custom figurines for your wedding. Your guests and family will be blown away and you can even keep it as a good luck charm!

Here are 3 tips for unique wedding cake toppers that will really get you noticed and will get you more attention and “WOW” factor for your wedding . Specifically we’ll discuss all about how to show off your personality, individuality, and to get recognition on YOUR day.

1. Personality – Is Tradition Making You Boring?

Personality for your wedding is such a difficult thing to do if you are sticking to the “traditional” way of going about things. You try and keep to the tradition of a white dress whilst the groom will have a tuxedo or suit. You’ll have the ceremony, followed later in the the day with the reception. Where the focus of the day will be the all important cake.

How many hours did you spend selecting your cake? Testing different flavours? How many designs did you look at before you decided on which one was the right one for your special day? You want it personal right? Ok, then how long did it take you to look through “unique wedding cake toppers” that were supposedly special only to you?

If you’ve had a look around, most wedding cake toppers are not unique and they all look the same. If you want something special for you, then you need something that will show off your personality whilst staying within the theme of weddings.

You can have a better way to show off your personality

2. Individuality – Let Your Uniqueness Tell The Story

What makes you different from everyone else? What things do you and your partner love to do? If you want to unique wedding cake toppers to add that “WOW” to your wedding cake on your special day, then really look at what makes you different. You can have your love of sports, love of movies, love of cartoons, love of animals, or love of cars etc made right into a theme that will make unique wedding cake toppers special to you only.

3. Recognition – Being Noticed For What You Are

This will probably be one of the most important tips for unique wedding cake toppers. For most people having a wedding and putting on a reception it is all about the recognition of a magical bond between two people.

It’s your special day, so you want people to really notice and to remember what a beautiful day it was. Add that extra “something” with your own unique wedding cake toppers. You want to be unique and you want to be remembered. The whole event is a reflection of you and your partner and your life-long commitment to each other.

Unique wedding cake toppers will probably be the best choice for you if you are not the “standard” Caucasian couple that is getting married (but even if you are in a Caucasian relationship, read on because it will apply to you as well). The reason why I say that is because I’ve noticed that just about all the wedding cake toppers out there only cater to Caucasian couples that are in a bridal gown and tuxedo. Why is that?

Getting Married With Cultural Differences

Are you in an inter-racial or mixed heritage relationship? I am and it’s a little sad that so many manufacturers of wedding cake toppers choose to only make these types of plastic decorations. For a day that is supposed to be the most special day of your life, it sure is a little unfair to have something like that imposed on you and not have the choice of what type of decorations there are out there.

If you are an African American, Hispanic, Jew, Hindu, Buddhist, Chinese descendant then you probably are like the other 2/3rds of the world’s population that isn’t being catered for. What makes it a little more difficult for you is if you are in a mixed heritage relationship. In the past, couples in these kinds of relationships had a very hard time finding a suitable wedding cake topper or did without. Even more so if you were in a gay or lesbian relationship.

Unique Wedding Cake Toppers – The New Option!

There is light at the other end of the tunnel. What you need for your wedding cake are unique wedding cake toppers!

In the past to make a custom wedding cake topper it would set you back $1500 or more! For the extremely wealthy this wasn’t a big deal. Reason being is that the wedding day is so special and seen as a one off event so wealthy couples wouldn’t even bat an eyelid to that price.

Well for those that would like to have the option of unique wedding cake toppers that cater just for the couple there is another option. Those are the new breed of custom made figurines. You can get predesigned bodies and get you and your partners faces sculpted for as little as $97 per figurine. Now isn’t that a bargain!

Prices have come down so much that you can even get your own full custom made figurines for as little as $200 per figurine. That includes the body, clothes, mounting, everything! Isn’t that a kick in the pants to get your own unique wedding cake topper?

If you are sick and tired of the same plastic and lifeless figurines, go for unique wedding cake toppers that look just like you. Not only are you personalizing your cake, but you’ll also impress all your guests as well! (not to mention that they make great keepsakes for years to come).

Have you ever heard people using unique wedding cake toppers? If you really want to blow the socks off your guests when they look at your reception centrepiece then you will want to consider something totally unique to you and your partner.

Now you can get all sorts of different wedding cake toppers. You can get funny ones that are a little themed to the type of ceremony you are having, you can get some cultural ones if you are from an ethnic background, you can get expensive ones, more affordable ones and you can get named ones. There are a lot of different types of unique wedding cake toppers out there these days (in the past you could only get the same standard bride and groom plastic figurines for your cake. Thank goodness times have changed).

Another class of unique wedding cake toppers are a step beyond just the mass produced figurines and statues made from plastic. They are custom figurines.

Custom Figurines as Unique Wedding Cake Toppers

If you really want something special and unique to you, consider custom figurines as unique wedding cake toppers. They are sculpted by a skilled artist from only your photograph. You can tell the artist what features you like the best and to emphasize them, or you can request to have certain features left out – and best of all, they look like you!

No one else will have a cake topper like you so they will be totally unique and personalized. If you have any hobbies or interests you can have your unique wedding cake toppers themed and look just the way you want them. For example, if you like any films such as James Bond or Lord of the Rings, you can request to have you and your partner sculpted to look like one of the characters from the movie/s.

Or let’s say that you both love horses, or met at a horse riding club, you could have yourselves both sculpted on horses for your wedding day. How great is that for an idea? Basically you are limited only to your imagination.

To get a full idea what these custom figurines will look like as unique wedding cake toppers on you cake here are the descriptions of them.

They are:

- Made of resin clays that are completely non-toxic and imported from Germany
- Stand from 5-7 inches tall depending on the style
- Weigh from 200grams each (this depends on the size and styles of the figurines)
- Fun to look at
- Great keepsakes for after your special day

Conclusion

Your cake will really stand out and be accentuated by using unique wedding cake toppers. They show off your personality and really help you to look good as a couple. If impressing your guests is what you really want, then consider custom figurines. Words just don’t do them justice and as unique wedding cake toppers, they will make you look just like a star.
