the invite: mostly printed with a hand stamped cross. i was creating the background for another invitation and it dawned on me that it would be perfect to go with a cake that caught mignon's eye in her american girl magazine. here is our version to match the invitation and the occasion...
the cake featured in the american girl magazine is round with blue sky & clouds only--i chose square to frame the cross--but the real treat is what you get when you slice it...
a rainbow! the secret ingredient: a tablespoon of jello mix--one for each layer--added to the cake batter for color and a little extra flavor. did you notice the martha stewart glassine paper again on the cake board? this time, i stamped the board first with a polka dot border to mimic the invitation.
and speaking of martha, here is my centerpiece--created with a martha craft kit from my recent trip to michael's...
the kit included pre-cut pieces to create three different types of flowers that were easy and fun to put together. arranged in my own pitcher vase, i now have a pretty spring arrangement that doesn't need water & won't die!
happy sunday!
