The title says it all. My cousin's daughter got this cake for her birthday party. I used the same papers for this cake as with her birthday card. This cake took me about a week to complete and I didn't think I would finish in time. I can no longer sit at my craft table for an extended amount of time to craft. Just have my hands full with a new infant and caring for my other 2 children.
This inspiration came from seeing my dear friend's cake. Kim is amazing at creating cards and 3D projects. Check out her cake {HERE}. While there, check out her whole blog! She's so talented you won't be disappointed.
How did I create the slices of cake? I bought a cake die from a local craft store, Stamps & Memories. When I saw Kim's cake, I knew I had to use my die, at least once. I'm so glad I did 'cause I really liked how the cake came out!
As a topper, I created this tealight cake. You can find many tutorials on how to cover the tealight. I just cut a strip of DP and used my Stampin' Up! Scallop punch. Add some flowers and bling and voila!
Here's a slice of the cake. I love how the die cuts the cover with a scalloped edge. If you want a clean edge, then all you have to do is cut off the scallops. Easy peasy!
I stuffed a bag of M&M's inside the slice of cake. I'm so glad Valentine's is coming up . . . I was able to pick up these Valentine M&M's and the colors matched perfectly with the yummy papers!
Well, some of my aunties thought the cake was real until they took a closer look. Then, no one wanted to take a favor home because if they did, the cake would be ruined. I laughed . . . it's just paper! Paper is replaceable, but my family is not! I luv spending time with my family and luv making sweet memories! :) Have a great day!
What a gorgeous cake! The papers are so pretty and makes me think of a yummy hocolate cake! and the tealight topper is so cute! ;)
