Another Birthday cake?!? Yes, another one. I asked what was desired and the request was for a chocolate cake. Well if you ask for chocolate then you get chocolate...and lots of it. I also made some vanilla butterfly cakes for those that don't like chocolate cake much. A very thoughtful little person suggested that idea, the thought of people not liking chocolate cake always surprises me! However if there was ever a cake that was too chocolaty then this might be it, that's a whole box of Thorntons on the top!!!!

This month is full of birthdays for people who are truly special to me. Here are the cards I have made for two of those people. A little Edwin playing the guitar and the laughing lady have been stamped onto shrink plastic before being coloured and heated. I have used glimmer mists and cosmic shimmer sprays to decorate the embossed card. I embossed the cards using my cuttle bug and cut out apertures to hang the dangly bits. There are little shrinky plastic butterflies all around the feminine card. Both cards have been edged using stickles.
Lovely birthday cakes! mmmm! I think these will go down well with everyone. A vanilla sponge covered and filled with buttercream icing. I have used sugar ladybirds, leaves and flowers to decorate it. The fruit cake is huge, delicious and should have enough fruit and brandy to ward off any evilness for the next year or so!!
