Cake toppers galore plus a maypole and a swag table to die for

Cake toppers were popular in this week's entries to the Offbeat Flickr Pool. We also saw a smidgen of parasols, tats, and a maypole too!

Joanna and Julian's cake topper looks adorably like them. I love the inclusion of their wee kittehs too.

And here is the full display of literary awesomeness: book-topped cupcakes arranged on piles of books and surrounded by origami flowers made from book pages.

Jess and Dan topped their cake with birds in lurve. Sweet, flowery purple lurve!

Holy risque skeletons, Batman! Mandy and Jeff get their sexy on with this skelly representation on their cake.

Jeanne and Jeremy have mini doppelgangers as their cake toppers. Same outfits and everything.
