We had a bride reach out see if we could make a cake topper for her wedding cake. Generally, we use vintage book plates for our monograms but when what we have isn’t exactly what the bride wants, we send them to the talented artists to create a monogram just for them. I can’t wait to see these on her cake come a October!

We did a custom monogram for a sweet little fella’s nursery. It will be a great little pacifier dish.
