Dia de Los Muertos-Inspired Cake Topper

Oh, why hello there, Skelington family! 

Bloggies, meet my newest custom cake topper creation. This crazy cake topper was commissioned by a couple who is having a Dia de Los Muertos-inspired wedding in Mexico next month, and I'm honored to have been able to make this unique, personalized wedding element just for them ;) 

Here are a few of the fun, customized details that we included:

• The couple really wanted their pet, "Bailey Lopez the Cat," to be a part of the cake topper. Making a skeleton cat was a BLAST.
• The skeleton bride is wearing a dress made out of a scrap of the bride's actual dress. The bride had the tailor cut it off and then sent me the leftovers to use = genius!
• The groom has an awesome beard, and thus, his skeleton counterpart does, as well.
• The papel picado (banner above them), the bridal bouquet, the groom's suit, etc. were all matched to their wedding's color scheme, as well. 
• They wanted sugar skull decorations on the skeletons, and thus, I got to doodle all over their faces.

I think a Day of the Dead wedding theme is super unique and can't wait to see their pictures. Creative, right?
