My second challenge project will be Cake Walk, a Lori Holt/Bee in My Bonnet pattern. I had made one cake several years ago and pulled some fabric for the next one but it somehow got put on the shelf. My plan is to make two cakes a month which seems do-able.
I also want to use ribbons and embellishments that I picked up on a few trips to make the cakes memorable/sentimental to me. When I get the opportunity to go to London I always go to Fortnum & Mason to shop for edible goodies and I included one of their ribbons on this cake. The first time I went to London it was in February and the daffodils were bloom at Green Park next to Buckingham Palace so I appliqued a daffodil on top. I still need to do some embellishing on the daffodil.
My second aqua cake still needs the cherries on top and I am loving it already! The Eiffel Tower background along with some rose ribbon is perfect! The cake block really isn't wonky it is just the amazing job I do as a photographer. I did pick up the ribbon in Paris the last time I was lucky enough to visit and it was kinda expensive. When I got home I was a JoAnn's and I think I saw the same ribbon there at a oh so much cheaper price. I haven't looked since and I really don't care because the ribbon reminds me of my last Paris trip. I am anxious to applique those cherries.
Finally, since it is Easter I couldn't pass up an opportunity to share my sort of aqua bunny that is also an ongoing project thanks to Sally at The Objects of Design.
I am linking up with everyone else at the Rainbow Scrap Challenge today.
Happy Easter!
Cheers,
Debi
