Little baby Lucia came to visit the other day, so what better way to celebrate than with these pretty strawberries and cream cupcakes (which, with Wimbledon approaching, is UK-summer in cupcake form).
Cake Topper Recipe:
Paper & Card: K&Company Sparkly Sweet, pink pearlescent, white textured
Tools: Silhouette Cameo
Embellishments: double satin ribbon 10mm, wooden toothpicks
I used my Silhouette Cameo to make these toppers,
cutting the scallop circles and elephant ears in pink pearl card, the circle in
white textured card, the elephant in glittered K & Company Sparkly Sweet
designer card. I cut twice the number
required of scalloped circles so that I had a front and back.
To ensemble, first make the top layer, stick the
ear onto the elephant with PVA glue then use small foam pads to elevate it off
the white circle layer. Use PVA glue to
stick the white circle to a pink scallop circle.
Then, attach 3 large foam pads to the back of one
of the scallop circles, remove the paper covers and smear each pad with
a glue stick. This means that the pads will
have some manoeuvrability when you need to align the two scallop circles together. Apply a generous blob of PVA glue and place
in a toothpick. Add your topper layer
and fiddle to align properly. Leave
aside to dry fully (I left mine overnight).
Finally, tie a small amount of pretty satin ribbon at the top of the
toothpick and trim.
Ta Da – the prettiest

All the elements were edible, something my niece can attest to when she ate Marshall's fire-pup shield! And, if you watch the video to the end, you can see what I used to make the "glass" in Marshall's torch.
