Our cake topper has just arrived (took two business days from the shipment notice). At first I had assumed I would be buying it just to see if I’d like it for the top of our cake, if not I was just going to use it as decoration around the house.

Apryl was amazing, I had asked for a custom order (citrine and carnelian, clear yellowish/gold and reddish orange colors, respectively), and she didn’t charge me more. My tree came impeccably packaged in a clear plastic box, with enough paper to protect my precious cargo. The wires that make up the “branches” are such a rich gold, and the stones that she used were great quality - all for $25.00 with $6.00 USPS shipping.

The amount of stones on each branch looks perfect for an autumn cake topper! This is kind of blurry, but you can see the stones okay (and the agate base).

This is showing how large it is, I got the medium sized tree, which was 5″x5″.  Our top tier will be 6″, so I figure it’s a good size.

This is a dark shot of the base, but I thought it looked cool:

This is a shot of the tree looking moderately clear, and our couch too.

 Last shot of the tree:

 I am so glad I ordered this tree, in fact, the second it arrived at work (I have everything shipped here) I took a camera shot of it and sent it to Mr. Kiwi. His first picture message, I’m so proud. Anyway, the tree is lighter than I thought - it still has a bit of heft to it, but not at all anything I feel would weigh down the cake. I totally recommend Original Creations by Apryl! I’m really excited to get to keep this after the wedding too.
