recommendation for personalised cake toppers?

Impet_Limpet

I've decided to get a "proper" wedding cake done, and now I'm thinking of cake toppers.

If i went for a bride/groom one
I would like the bride to be dressed in dark blue scrubs or red and white tunic with blue trousers - with the groom in a suit with a hard hat and clip board or I was looking for a groom in a man u t shirt (easy to find) and bride in a wigan warriors kit (certainly not easy to find!)

It's unlikely I'll find these "off the shelf" and wondering if any of you have any recommendations for places that make these or even "whatever you do don't use xxxx!" comments

I'm hoping to keep the cost as low as possible.

Alternatively I am open to other ideas of what to have on the cake other than bride/groom (square approx 8" - others are cupcakes)

Wedding colours are dark red, ivory and black

I found the lady who made the toppers via ebay -but then contacted her direct. Website: http://www.cakefigures.com/
The cake was made by a friend who has just started making them.
Hope this helps x

Most of the cake people we spoke to said they'd make little personalised people for £20-50, so there are plenty of people around will make them...just start calling around locally

OMG Mrs Moore - how similar our weddings were! Same day, location (ish), Florist and now I find out you also had a cake topper with your dog on...
