cakes too pretty to eat

I got inspired looking at the 2 tins of butter cookies in my pantry.

So I dug out the magnets that I bought THREE YEARS AGO... (and had no idea what to do with them back then...)

I bought felt in many many colours...

Used disposable chopsticks (clean never-used-before-ones of course) to make candles...

I glued the magnets to the bottom of the candles so that they would 'stick' on the cake.

This is how I do the running stitch before pulling it tight to make ruffles for the icing around the 'cake'.

Then I made many many more 'cupcakes' using clear containers....topped them with some 'cream cheese icing' and 'strawberries'..

Now the kids are very happy with their new bakery!
