Posted byWanna see the cutest Monty Python-inspired cake topper EVAR? Lookit…
Now, how exactly were these adorable birdies at all inspired by Monty Python? Tribe member Spaz Girl explains:
My Mister and I met online. In the Getting to Know You phase, we were IMing and the following dialogue took place:
Him: Do you happen to know the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow?
Me: African or European?
Him: Wanna meet for coffee?
Me: Hell yes.If you aren't a Monty Python fan, that lovely nerd mating ritual was dialogue from Monty Python and the Holy Grail. Watch it here.

So, fast forward a couple of years, and I'm complaining about cake toppers. I don't want one unless I can have an African and a European swallow, carrying a coconut. Then Ye Olde light bulb goes off over my head. And the search began for my dream cake topper.
The search lead her to Etsy seller The Air Castle who whipped up this ridiculously amazing Monty Python inspired cake topper out of thin air!
Who knew a Monty Python cake topper could be so romantic!? Now, for the next cake topper I want you to bring me a shrubbery. One that looks nice… and not too expensive…

A path! A path! A path!
Oh. My. God. This is the best thing I’ve ever seen!
Is that two swallows carrying a coconut together held on a sort of line?

This seriously made my day. 🙂
Love this!!!!! Anything Monty Python is welcome at my wedding!
but answer me this: what is your favourite colour?
Blue. No, yel– Auuuuuuuugh!
Wow, I’m a huge Monty Python fan and this is the best cake topper ever. I hope she had a small shrubbery instead of a bouquet and said “Ni” instead of I do!!
Brilliant!!!!
That is amazing! Madly in love, so much. I really do believe in weddings being what you want, not what people expect (within reason), way to make that cake your own.
I cant even tell you how badass I think that is. I’m stoked for you! And swallows are much better than herrings…
Unless you’re going to perform the Slapping Fish Dance.
*This* made me weep with joy!
Thank you for the morning smile I so desperately needed!! ^_^
Bright Blessings!!!
