Production and processing time The average turnaround time for custom figurines is 1-3 weeks, plus shipping. However, in peak periods (eg Christmas, Mother's Day), this May be as long as 4 weeks. If there is a specific date you need the item by, feel free to make contact to avoid disappointment. For weddings, the earlier you order the better because they don't deteriorate this allows time for replacement in the unlikely event of damage during transit. I can often accommodate fast turnaround if required, please just reach out to check first. In this event, express postage upgrade is recommended. Base Materials The pet figurines are sculpted from polymer clay, baked to harden. Wire and/ or aluminium foil is used to reinforce limbs as required. Colouring and details are added with acrylic paint, before it is sealed. This means the cake toppers will last forever, as opposed to toppers made from sugar or fondant, which deteriorate over time. As the materials are not certified food safe, a barrier between the cake topper and the cake or icing is required. About the maker Dani has been perfecting her polymer clay skills and technique since 2015 and is now based out of her home in Adelaide, South Australia, Australia. She grew up on a farm surrounded by animals, including pet cats and dogs and this is probably where her love for animals began. She prides herself on being able to capture the traits that make each pet unique. To help with this, please let her know if your pet has any signature facial expressions, specific markings etc that you want included. Style Whilst the style is 'lifelike', there are limitations due to the miniature size and materials used, making the outcome an artistic likeness, rather than a perfect replica.
