instructions

1. Cake Card - 1. Fold a card blank and draw the shape of a tall cake with a domed top, so the edges of the card follow the sides of the icing. Cut it out to form the cake shape card. Trim three strips of patterned paper and affix to the front to create three cake layers.
   
   2.Trim patterned card to resemble icing and stick to the top. Decorate by adding lengths of ribbon and trims across the layers. Draw stitches along the bottom edge of the icing in red gel pen. Write on happy birthday' and stitch a ‘cherry’ button on the top.
