Sew… happy birthday to you!
Wednesday, September 8th, 2010I made this cake for our wonderful vet’s wife’s birthday.
Dr. R told me she really liked sewing and embroidery, and he had already surprised her with a cake in the shape of a sewing machine (how cool is that!).
So I took on the “embroidery” theme.
Which was pretty fun, seeing as how I used to love doing counted cross stitch. Which is kind of the same thing.
I covered a round, chocolate cake with fondant “fabric” (Aida, if you want to be all technical), draping it from a fondant embroidery hoop.
I then piped on the birthday message in a blocky, “sampler”esque font.
And added a few skeins of fondant and royal icing embroidery floss to the side for good measure.
Here’s hoping it was a wonderful birthday!
