$2300 Cake Topper!
*Straps on bonnet and apron* La-de-da, I am just trolling the internet, reading the blog of a friend of mine who is planning her wedding! What is this I have found? Oh my! Adorable custom cake toppers! These are amazing! I shall click this pricing link out of curiosity! WTF?!?!?!??!
$2,300 for a cake topper?!? Oh, and look! You could add other people (the in-laws? the minister? David Bowie? who else would be on the cake topper with you?) for only $1,150 a person!
So… waste of money? I think you already know what I think.

I don’t know if you knew this, but if not, i’m sure it’ll be have been quite surprised!

Dear Stephanie,
I am from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. I heard about your blog in a local newspaper. I would strongly recommend that you read Robert Kiyosaki´s books to understand the rules of money and how to get a better financial situation. Very important to understand the difference between assets and liabilities. Start with the book “Rich dad, Poor Dad”. Another one that I would recommend specifically for you is “Rich Woman”, from Kim Kiyosaki (Robert´s wife). You can find information on his site “RichDad.com”. You won´t regret this!
Best Wishes,
LMilfont.

If you think of it as just a cake topper, then yeah waste of money. If you think of it as art, then it all depends on what it is worth to you! Of course, I don’t have that kind of money, so…

Plain Jane Mom: I can see the value in having a cake topper that is worth keeping long afterwards. I guess my issue is with the cost of weddings in general these days, this seems like one more superfluous expense on top of that.
