Jack And Sally Wedding Cake Help!

Sign in to disble this ad
So, as part of a joke, I'm marrying some girl on Halloween.

However, in part of our points program, I'd need x amount of points to do whatever I want with her.

I currently have 250 points and I need to have a total of 1000 points by Friday. Technically I'm already halfway there as a gumball ring is worth 150 points, and a tuxedo (little did she know, it was already part of my costume) is worth 100 points. I already have both, but wouldn't be able to redeem either until Halloween.

The cake, however, is a whopping 500 points. While I'm going to Carvel to get the cheapest ice cream cake I can find, I still need the toppers for the wedding cake. I have no idea what they're really called, but they're the traditional plastic bride and groom on top of a wedding cake.
Part of the deal though is that they have to be Jack and Sally from Nightmare before Christmas.

Any help in finding them online, cheap, and have them at my door before Friday? Or would I be better off going to a comic book store in Manhattan?

GE is lonely.

PS If I can get enough points, I'll post pictures for TB. 7 words gentlemen... She is a yoga and dance instructor.

That is all.

I believe that "Nightmare Before Christmas" is property of Disney. Check your local Disney merchandise retailer.

Just a thought.

I'm going to the comic shop that I know of in downtown Manhattan tomorrow. Hopefully I'll be spending less than $20. I doubt it though.

Well, little baker boy? Did you make a Fail-icious cake?

In reality its just a Christmas cake with fall decorations on it...

Did you find some tNBC Decorations? I saw some at the Disney store once...

Considering my looks, I'm going to bank that the only reason that girls touch me is because of my winning personality.

I know I am already too late to answer the cake topper problem of the first postie. But I would just like to share my wedding experience last August. I wanted my cake topper to be personalized and with our face on it. So I just bought the traditional one and printed our face on a sticker, attached it on a cardboard and made it like a face mask.

One might wonder how you found this thread? Were you searching for "Cake" posts on a Bass forum?
