THIS IS REALLY STARTING TO TICK ME OFF!!!

I've vented to you all before about my difficulty in finding an interracial bride/groom cake topper so I'm sorry to be repeating myself, but this is ridiculous!  I've found so many that I LOVE but they only come in white.  And yes, they do have some mix and match ones but those are boring dancing couples that look terrible because they don't fit together.  And there are some fun ones that come in both, but totally not fitting for our personality.
I've gone on Etsy but I can't justify spending $200 on a cake topper when I feel like they should come in all races.  They give you the option to change the hair color, what do only white people get married to white people?  Cause that's all I can seem to find.  Even if we were both African American there is a VERY limited selection for that too.  UGH!

Huge bummer!  I would never pay $200 either.  I'm marrying a Korean, you would think by now people would be understanding of interracial relationships!

Weddingstar did a blog post on cake topper recently. I bought the magazine that also had the order form for them in it. They do custom made ones that are made to look like you and your groom (dress and tux style, hair and eye color, etc.). We're planning on ordering a cake topper fom them for this reason. Because they cast and handpaint every topper to the specifications of the couple, they should be able to do an interracial topper. The prices are also very reasonalble, between about $25-60 for the toppers. 

Here's the link to the post, hopefully this is helpful! The post doesn't really do it justice. I would highly suggest buying the magazine (Target and Wegmans both sell it). The magazine shows all the options (upwards of maybe 70 or 80 different toppers to choose from). Or at least go to B&N and browse it/rip out the order form if it's helpful.

Thank you for the suggestion.  Unfortunately, they have the same selection every other site has You can customize the hair color but not the skin color.  I browsed the site and they're the same figurines.  Thanks for trying to help...I appreciate it.

I'm very frustrated for you. I found another Etsy site that makes custom toppers, including interracial options, for $90 for just a bride a groom topper. I don't what your planning on spending, but I agree that $200 is ridiculous. Even $90 might be kind of crazy, but they are cute. The imagine for her shop shows it with kids, but her prices vary based on additional "props" other than the bride and groom, so to get just the bride and groom might be less.

I got my cake topper from this Etsy seller:

It's a unique look, but they do make interracial dolls for a price that's not too bad compared to other Etsy shops. I really liked my dolls, they still sit on my bookshelf!  It did take a long time for her to get them to me (longer than the 4-6 weeks quoted).

Hi there,

Dont know how much of a DIY person you are or if these are even something you would consider, but I saw these online and thought of you! Maybe you know someone who is very artsy and could make these for you?
