Wedding$: Let them eat cake!

Why the HELL are cake toppers so expensive? It makes me CRANKY. Well, I guess not all of them are pricey. Just the ones that would've gone with my wedding:


Cute, but I'm not paying $60+ for a cake topper nobody's going to remember, anyway. (I know I never remember the cake topper at a wedding, so why should anybody remember mine?)

I was spared the trouble of choosing one by the baker who showed me a picture of my cake with flowers on top, but I was considering this for a while:


It's hard to see in the picture, but it's mirrored, so you could either leave it plain or use it as a canvas for whatever adornment you want. Plus, it's way cheap: the smaller 3" version is $5.95, and the 4 ½" one is $7.95. If you're getting married, check The Knot for cake toppers first. Everywhere else will make you sad.
