Marion Ballog made sure that this birthday cake won't add any calories to your day! This one is made of a styrofoam wedge shaped like the perfect slice of cake, then covered with vintage birthday wrapping paper, sheet music, glitter, and "icing " made of ribbon ruffles and pleated crepe paper.
On top is a little chick and a flag stamped with "You take the cake", (Marian snipped the word "Cake" from the "(cup)cake" stamp in Sweet Greetings). Cut the flag with a scalloped die (or use decorative scissors) and ink the edges. The little flag is punched with 2 mini holes and flies from a frilly toothpick. The little flag can be stamped with any Pink Persimmon sentiment to dress up real cakes too. Or pancakes for a birthday breakfast!
Sorry Maria - no video with this post. You were probably seeing the mention of the video in one of the comments that turned out to be spam (I have since deleted that comment).

Well done! I thought it was real cake but this is better. I love how Marian did the sentiment.
