Bridethulhu is the new Bridezilla
We're totally sick of the term Bridezilla, but there's no denying that as you grind your way through wedding planning, it can be helpful to... Read more
For a long time my husband and I have been talking about wanting to have Cthulhu cake toppers for the wedding (he is really into H.P. Lovecraft and used to run a lot of Lovecraftian role-playing games in university).
So I did my best to make Cthulhu cake toppers, and I thought they turned out okay! Here's how I made them…
I used emerald, black, and white polymer clay (Fimo soft) for the modelling.
I had nail art tools, cocktail sticks, cutting blades, and lots of patience.
I also realized that if you don't have rubbing alcohol to wipe the work before baking, you can substitute it with vodka!
I look forward to explaining what they are to my future husband's conservative relatives.
As a person who hasn’t really had a lot of exposure to H.P. Lovecraft, I would like to know how you pronounce “Cthulhu?” It would be nice to be less ignorant 🙂
My fiance and all of our nerdy friends who love Lovecraft (I’m not apparently cool enough haha) pronounce it “Ca-thew-lew”
It’s an issue of much debate. Check the comments here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BkGqJqvWOUs
Favorite one: “According to the actual text, Cthulhu’s name cannot be pronounced by a human voice.”
In my head I say “sih-thoo-loo,” but that’s wrong.
I have friends far nerdier than me that say something like “kith-ulu.” It sort of sounds like you’re sneezing if you’re doing it right.
OMG. SO very cute. My HP Lovecraft-obsessed fiance would adore these!
This is the first time in my life I’ve been able to use the adjective “Lovecraftian” when referring to wedding decor. This is a big day for me.
Awwwww! The tails make a heart!!!! These make my heart go all pitter-pat <3
