chocolate cake

Miss C. has been requesting some more cake,

play food cake.

I had already made 2 cakes,

but it was not enough!

So this time I made a cake she can "cut"

and serve individual pieces.

I started with 2 inch foam,

drew a circle with a plate, and marked 6 pieces.

I cut the 6 pieces with a bread knife.

I cut a 2 inch band of brown felt

and wrap the cake, cutting it to length.

Then I stitched it at the pointy end, the middle of the cake.

Using the same plate,

I also cut top and bottom of the pieces of cake.

and stitched all over the top and bottom.

It was looking like a nice cake,

but very plain!

So I added some whip cream,

following this description.

I also added 2 bands of lighter color felt,

to replicate the actual cake that was not covered in icing.

I think it worked quite well,

and she seems happy!

Happy sewing!
