Hello ladies. Look at these scrummy fat quarters.
Aren't they pretty? I can hardly bare to unfold them as they look so lovely.
Well you would think 12 fat quarters in one go would be enough, but look I didn't even make it out of the shop and I'd picked up another couple of lovely fabrics! I'm sure they placed the basket of fabrics directly in my path!
This is my latest 'cake', I was trying out different beads on the top to see which look best. I've found it very difficult to find big red beads that look like cherries to go on the top of the cake. Where ever I go I keep an eye out for bracelets and necklaces and ...well anything that might have big beads on it. I've searched the Internet to buy new beads but they are soooo expensive for the size I need. (about 18mm)
These beads are taken from 2 bracelets and I know they look nothing like red cherries but using a little bit of artistic licence, I think they are quite passable.
As long as it looks at first glance as if you could stick your finger in it, scoop up a big blob of creamy icing and lick it. Then I'm happy!

Mmmmm - it looks loaded down with calories!
It looks absolutely delicious and calorie free to boot! I love the fabrics too and like you I cannot stop at just one or two and end up buying more than I went into the shop for! Still it's better than being addicted to shoes or expensive perfumes or even drink isn't it?!!!

Hi, gorgeous cake :D I recently bought a bracelet made up of big red beads from Dorothy Perkins. It was about £1 and there are about 10-12 beads on it. It might be worth trying there :o) Elaine x
What a really amazing cake.
Thank you for the Dorothy Perkins tipoff! Will give it a go. x
