The other day, Shawn forwarded me a posting from the classifieds at his company of a wedding cake topper that someone was selling. It was a porcelain thing with a man and a woman dancing, surrounded by a heart. It was pretty tacky, but not horrible. I definitely knew I didn't want it, but it got me thinking about what I actually wanted sitting atop our wedding cake.
So I made these. They're chickens. Duh. What were you expecting?

They're cute, huh? I combined two patterns that I found on Ravelry because I couldn't find exactly what I wanted.
Here's one. I don't know if it will work, but give it a clickity-click. I looked through my old sweater yarn extras bag and found all the colors I needed. (I knew I kept those random balls around for a reason.)
They're crocheted and stuffed. I made the bodies first, stuffed them, then made all of the embellishments. I'll probably add a bow tie to the brown one and a veil or a bow or something girly to the white one to make them more bridal-y. I'll also make something they can sit on so that they don't go directly on the cake and get their feet all icing-y. But I won't do that now and you'll have to wait until after the wedding to see the finishing touches.
Come on, I'm not going to give everything away.
