The first pic of the one ON the cake is my inspiration for this little project....
OK - heres a 3rd pic with a few minor changes.....is this more readable or should i scrap the script and go with something more like the sample pic on top of the cake????
How did you do that? I love it sooo much!! I may pay you to make me one because i now have no time to breathe!
I would be happy to make you one.....I printed out the font I wanted in the size I wanted (mine is 4.0 inches tall by 5.75 inches wide) and then I used 20 gauge wire and formed the 'B' on top of it so I could find how much wire I would need.....straightened out the wire and added the beads alternating mini pearls with pink swarovski crystals, and then reformed the 'B' using the font guide and a little hot glue to hold the curves in place.....very simple....I have plenty of wire left if your interested
the whole thing came to like $15....let me know if your interested...... i'd only have charge you materials, and shipping =)

i think its hard to tell what it is, although it's pretty. we had a similar problem with the letter 'S' -- found a cake topper that would use our font, but it didnt look anything like an S to me so we just went with flowers on our cake

I think it's a little hard to figure out, but once I looked at it a little more I could tell it was a B. It's very pretty though!

I think its pretty also, but I just had FH look at it with looking at the above picture and he couldn't tell what it was. I think its awesome that your making it yourself though!!!

I voted for a little hard to figure out, however, everyone at your wedding will know that your initial will be a 'B' so they will probably know what it is. It is really pretty though and you are talented, maybe just don't make it so 'scrpity'. I hope this makes sense and I hope it helped!

I loveee that you did that yourself! Incredible! I think I might have had trouble with it if I didn't know it was a script B. JMO.
I think its really nice and a great idea however it was a little difficult to read but against the black it looked more clear however it is going to be on top of the cake so yo might want to think about changing it to less scripty ...
