    Acrylic Cake Topper

    I have gotten a request to do a wedding cake topper. Not a problem. Intertwining hearts art work provided. Not a problem. Created with Pearl Acrylic... PROBLEM. I can't find pearlized looking acrylic with any of my normal suppliers. LaserSketch shows pearl colored acrylic on their site but when asked via email what colors they have, the reply I got was," If they are not on the web site we do not have them" . Hello... If they weren't on your website I would not have asked what colors you had.

    Anyway, I digress. Does anyone have an idea where I might find such a thing as pearlized acrylic? Thanks

    I know Cyro (makers of Acrylite) has a pearlized white... it's in their sample kit. Peidmont Plastics supplies Cryo stuff, so check with them.

    Steven,

    If you can't find pearlized acrylic, you might want to try using clear acrylic with a "pearlized" sheet adhered from behind. I remember other posts about doing this, but I never have.
