This blog hop is all about cakes and cupcakes! My inspiration for this card came from a project a did a couple of weeks ago.  I had just received Sweet Tooth Boxes and Flower Shop.  Two carts I was really excited about! I knew I wanted to make a rose and a cake box.  So I got to work right away and here is the result:

This rose took me a while to figure out how to make.  It started out as white cardstock.  I love how it turned out!  It looks way better in person but you can see the details pretty well here. 

Here is another view of this little rose.

So when it came time to make my cake/cupcake birthday card I thought about how this cake would look like if it was whole.  I instantly reached for Once Upon a Princess because I remembered that it has a beautiful cake and it used similar colors.  Here is my card:

I added some rhinestones, stitching, and twine for extra detail. 

I heat embossed the sentiment and then ran it through my Big Shot using the Polka Dot folder. I then added some pop dots to the cake to give it some dimension.

I was very happy with the final result!
