If you're looking for a custom cake topper for your wedding, Paul is your man!!

Working with Paul is a breeze. He created our cake topper and the final product came out perfect. His attention to detail is impeccable! Paul also responded to all of my questions and concerns in a timely manner and his figures are lifetime warranty!

I HIGHLY recommend him!!

u n b e l i e v a b l e ! !

i commissioned a couples carbonite as a surprise gift for my husband on our wedding day. my husband is a huuuge star wars geek and i knew he would flip over this.

i worked with paul via email -- he was so helpful and so quick to respond. i had waited until the last minute, and paul saved me by creating this in just a couple of days! i sent a few pics, one of me in my wedding dress... and what he made is simply amazing. the detail and likeness is unreal.

needless to say, my husband was over the moon with the gift -- and ran around the entire reception showing it to everyone he could find.

i'm already thinking of what i can get from paul next!!

Paul is one of a kind. He can do and create anything you could ever think of. This guy knows no bounds! My fiancé and I are hardcore gamers and I searched high and low forever for someone or somewhere that offered unique and cool gamer themed gift ideas for our wedding. All I found was cheap looking crap. It was all so unimaginative and not necessarily good for a wedding. Then I stumbled upon Paul… seriously, if you can imagine it, he can create it. And for us, he DID!

We had Paul make a wedding topper replicating our Mii’s, which look exactly like them to a T. Paul will do whatever you want and make them to any specifications you desire (how you want to be posed, what you want written on the base, etc.), right down to what you want to hold (if anything) in your and/or your fiancé’s hand. The personalization is always a nice touch and I highly recommend doing it. He doesn’t charge extra for that either, btw. We sent him pictures of our wedding attire b/c we wanted our Mii’s dressed in what we were married in and he got it spot on. Amazing!

He also made our wedding favors. He made chocolate molds out of our mii’s (you choose if you want dark or milk chocolate) and put them in a Wii replica box with our mii’s inside. Paul sent us samples of the chocolates in advance so we could try them and decide which kind we liked best! The chocolate is really good quality and is delicious – no cheap stuff here.

The Wii box that the chocolate mii’s come in – omg, it is beyond impressive!!! The details are all there, right down to the angles of the Wii box (or as he puts it, to protect the copyright on Wii, “Wjj”). His prices are great and once you learn what his process is and what it takes for him to create these original designs, you’ll be even more impressed. He constructs everything by hand. I've read a few reviews where some people say that the wedding toppers are a bit pricey and I don't understand that. He constructs them starting from a single wire that he shapes then he molds on top of that! Once you see them and know the kind of work and detail that goes into it, it's a darn fair price. He also has a lifetime warranty on them so if they chip, break, baby chews on it, you drop it, or your husband mistakes it for a football, you can send it back to Paul and he'll do all repairs and fixes for free.

His customer service is amazing, too, and he will do anything he can to make it as easy peasy as possible. He was always quick to respond to emails and he totally worked within our budget. I highly recommend him and will most definitely use his services again when the need arises. There is nobody around like this guy. Trust me, I've looked!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
