University of Maryland and Rice University Mascots Wedding Cake Topper

Go Team Go!!!...but where do you find a cake topper that will suit your team?..I mean a University of Maryland tortoise and the Rice University owl mascot??...who would have one of those ready made....answer is-NOBODY!...but where can you have something like that custom made?...right here at / and what kind of reaction would the client express upon seeing his finished commission?..read on...


Hunter,Holy crap, those mascots look sensational!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!How I wish the cake channel folks had sent my message to you two days earlier! Holy cow, I appreciate their gesture and I'm so bummed about the timing....Here's the deal. Because I didn't hear from anyone else, I had to go with a glass blower who *hopefully* can make a good looking Rice Owl and Maryland Terrapin. They won't be as realistic and as attractive as your toppers. The glass blower has been paid and has already started his work,so I am obliged to get the cake toppers from him.However, the more I look at the NC State and VT mascots you did, the more I am inclined simply to use the glass pieces as decoration somewhere else and use your cake toppers. Those pieces are fantastic. I am in awe at how incredible they look. That looks great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can't wait to see it in person, and then to see the look on Erica's face when she sees it sitting on top of the cake! Man, you even did a great job with that pesky "script R" logo. Good use of color, too, given that the animals are basically grey and brown.

so dear reader, if you are contemplating a special topper, I hope to please you as much as I did the groom who requested the creation pictured above!
