Yes, We Do Custom Designs!

We get many inquiries asking if we can do custom designed cake toppers and the answer is YES, we can definitely do that for you!

I was recently contacted by Loretta of CakeLore to design custom lettering for a special client who was turning 100.  After discussing the details, I asked who the client was and she informed me it was Senator John McCain’s mother, Robert McCain!  This was quite an honor, especially since John McCain is the Senator of our state of Arizona.

Here are some photos of the “Happy 100 Birthday” lettering that I made for the cake table.  Cake by Loretta of CakeLore.

Another cake topper we were asked to design is this cute Seahorse!  What a great idea for a beach theme wedding or party!

Seahorse Cake Topper or Cake Pick

 

This custom design was submitted to us already in vector file format needed to cut it out.  Because of the thinner lines on the lower “J”, we opted to to make it a cake pick that would go on the side of the cake, instead of on top.

"JJ" Cake Pick

One of my favorite custom pieces was this Carriage cake topper!

We can usually accommodate most requests.  You will need to provide a .TTF font file for reproduction of a custom font or you can send the .ai vector file of your lettering.  For a custom design, we would need an .ai vector file.  We can create the needed file for you for a $50 designer fee.  Please email me with any questions about these or other custom designs at info@couturecakejewelry.com ~ Lacie

BLING in the New Year!

He’s asked the question….. the rings on your finger…..now the fun begins! Planning your big day!!

2012 WEDDING TRENDS will be a mix of new with a unique twist on old favorites.  Gone is the day of the cookie cutter wedding.  A wedding where you customize and personalize is the HOT trend of 2012!

The color trend of 2012 has been announced….Tangerine Tango.  It’s reminiscent of the radiant shadings of a sunset.  Orange has been gaining popularity over the past few years, and Tangerine Tango is definitely an attention getter!

Jewels are another fashionable new wedding trend, according to Posh Brides, yet not in the way that you’d think. Jewels sparkle everywhere in the seasons to come. They adorn everything from the bride’s hair to the bouquet. Some creative bakeries are even adding a little bling to their wedding cakes for a unique look.

Meet the Designers!

I’m so blessed to own and operate a business that I absolutely LOVE!  But I couldn’t do it alone!  I have 2 wonderful designers that help me out during our busiest times of the year and I wanted to introduce them to our wonderful customers and friends.

Fran Cordeau is a fabulous designer with a degree in fine arts.  She’s currently enrolled in culinary school and will be learning to design wedding cakes….we look forward to her masterpieces!  Being of French decent, she happily agreed to create our beautifully detailed Fleur de lis cake topper! Her attention to detail is amazing! More recently, she designed our new Zebra Print 16 Cake Topper.    When our orders pour in, Fran is my go-to gal for much of the overflow monograms and rush orders!

Fran Cordeau

Abbey Nichols, my wonderful daughter-in-law, is a huge asset to Couture Cake Jewelry!  She has a natural talent for design.  Monograms with 3 and 4 colors are her specialty due to her “thinking outside the box” approach and ability to avoid giving them a “pattern” look.  Along with creating stunning monograms, Abbey recently took over our Facebook and Twitter posts to allow me more time for corresponding to customers and making monograms.

Abbey Nichols

Hi, I’m Lacie Nichols. Owner and head monogram designer of Couture Cake Jewelry.  I’ve been married 28 years and we are blessed with 2 sons, Morgan and Brandon. They are VERY blessed with wonderful and beautiful wives, Abbey and Hannah!  Morgan is our graphic designer and is working on our upcoming commercial.

When you call or send us an email, I personally respond to each and every one, usually within the hour.  I really enjoy corresponding with brides-to-be about creating the perfect cake topper for their special day!   Along with weddings, we get more and more requests for birthday, anniversary, christening and custom cake toppers.  We love them all!!  Thank you to all of our loyal customers and friends for making Couture Cake Jewelry what it is today!
