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!

I really like that video. I'm now bemused that I can get ANY video clip from the game. That is really, really cool. I really love the song "You Are My Sanctuary" from bits from the beginning, and it's good to be able to hear it again and again.
