Design Tips
Human & Pets
Typically we do not recommend decoration of realistic / photographic human or pets (Because you have to cut into them)
Too busy design
Avoid "throw up cake" - Having too many different design themes / elements
Toys/Plastic decorations
All hand crafted sugar decorations we do in house require time and labor. For more cost-effective alternatives, toys and plastic decorations can be found on Amazon, Etsy, and Ebay. (We do not decorate 3rd party decorations.)
