I finally made a decision on our cake topper, the coral pink feathered birdies at top. I find it simple and sweet, very much in keeping with our modest, intimate affair. In place of a traditional wedding cake we’ve actually elected to have one cheesecake and an assortment of tarts from a local Alameda bakery. They’re made with fresh fruit (lemon, raspberries, apricots and more…) and the finished presentation is absolutely divine. I think the birds will look elegant perched on top of the cheesecake and I just love that the nest is decorated with vintage millinery flowers. Isn’t the green and lavender pairing darling as well?
Those are absolutely darling! I am a big bird fan as well..but it is so fitting with the “nest” and the 2 love birds. Great find!
Thank you Melanie! I’m very pleased. I tend to agonize over the little details so it’s nice to have the decision made. Simplicity is bliss, right? xx
Oh so sweet! That will look adorable at the wedding. I’m so looking forward to seeing pics – with all of the coral it will be so chic!

LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!
aww too cute! the green birdies are sweet, but those coral ones are absolutely amazing!!!
Awww thanks ladies! I often get a bit nervous sharing my personal selections (silly, I know) so it means so much to have your approval! xx Katie
They’re lovely! The green and lavendar one would work perfectly for us since those are our colors, but our friend Alex is making us a clay topper!!
they are you (at least that is the way I see you) Very adorable. You must be getting so excited. It will be perfect, just the way you want it.
Meagan — A clay topper made by a close friend, now that is fabulous!
Betty — Thank you!!! Your sweet comments always make my day. And yes, I am getting SO excited! xoxo
Katie that is perfect! So pretty! I love the green one but the pink just seems to suit you- not meaning to be creepy since I don’t actually “know” you, just from all your posts this fits your “theme”. :)
Perfectly sweet and darling – just like you! xx
Absolutely lovely!
That will be absolutely gorgeous! What a great idea! xxoo :)
we must be thinking alike. I litterally was just looking at that etsy shop before I came to check out your blog. I am looking at the cardinal bird nest cake topper. It would actually be a surprise to Tyler, as when his most favorite person in the world, his grandma passed, they say she became a cardinal. i’m hoping to make it a continueing theme throughout the wedding… espeically since one of our colors will be red!
I can’t wait to see your desert spread! sounds divine

Oh my goodness, this is adorable! This love nest sitting atop a mouthwatering cheesecake sounds like perfection as far as I’m concerned.
Emily — You crack me up. I totally know what you mean and I’m touched!
Kirby — You must get the cardinal, that would be too sweet. I think her little birds nests are so simple and charming. Keep me posted on what you decide!
Patrice — I’m glad you think so! A simple cheesecake certainly isn’t your typical wedding cake, but we’ll be over the moon. It’s my favorite!
These are so sweet, and they’d look beautiful displayed as a lovely little reminder.
Adorable, great choice!!
