I made three pieces of cake and cupcake to share with you. I have quite a few pictures so I will keep my chatter to a minimum. If you have any questions about the cakes or cupcake, please leave them in the comments or drop me an email and I will be happy to answer them!
First up is the cupcake...
The cupcake liner was made with Basic Grey's Lime Rickey pattern paper and my Score Pal. The tag was made with the LOC Sent with Love stamp set and Spellbinder's Long Rectangle Nestabilities. The 'frosting' is a crocheted flower that I handmade. I decorated the cupcake with the darling baby and tree images from the Flower Child stamp set.
Here is a closer look at the frosting and decorations.
Next up is the piece of cake that my daughter says reminds her of cheesecake.

I printed out the template on a piece of glossy paper and used my alcohol inks to create the marbled look. This technique is called polished stone. I added a piece of lace along the center of the slice to make it look like a layered piece of cake. The butterflies are from the Flutterescent stamp set and were colored with copics.
Let me show how I decorated the top...

I used lots of paper flowers, branch punches and another beautiful butterfly from the Flutterescent stamp set.
My next piece of cake has a musical theme...
The cake template was printed on shimmer white card and I decorated the cake with images from the Joyful Noise stamp set. All the images were heat embossed using sparkly black embossing powder.
And here is a top view...

Along with the images, I added paper and prima flowers, leaf branched and pearl strings.
