A Great Find



I wanted to share the beautiful cakeplate I found in Marshall's for a great price. It goes perfectly in my kitchen with all the red accents.

I placed one of my faux cakes with strawberries on the cakeplate top.

Too bad it isn't real!

  2. Pretty display Barb...you need to post the instructions for making that faux cake...was it you that posted the instructions for us years ago? I recall a flurry of posting on the boards about making the faux cakes but I never made one myself...recall that styrofoam was used and then bags of that easter grass in the white was glued on...can't recall any other steps though...

  4. Hi Barb,
    I love your new cake plate and the cake looks so real I could eat a slice! Don't you just love Marshall's? I could go once a week and always find a great buy!
    Have a great Sunday,
    Karen

  5. Gayle, I think I was one of several that posted...can't remember. Ha.

    I made tons of these for craft shows and they were very successful. You just glue together the styrofoam discs and then glue on the Easter grass. (this part takes lots of practice) Then, you add the elements of your choice.

    Susan, does this answer your question?

    Thanks girls!!!!!

  6. Barb, I wish my Marshall's had pretty things. Our Marshall's is so dirty and unorganized and never has anything nice. I get so mad when I do go in there.

    I love that cake. Barb, I am going to have to try it. I have seen it done with plaster but your directions seem so much easier.

  7. Hi Barb,

    That cake plate is so pretty and the faux cake too. But I think I spotted a real cake in the background on the shelf....;) Now I have to go bake a cake because I am craving one. LOL

  13. OH My I just love the cake plate you found!! The faux cake is AMAZING TOO!!! You are so,so talented!! I would try to make one but I just know mine would turn out messy. What kind of glue do you use? Did you make the strawberries to be sugared too or did you purchase those? I have never seen sugared ones before. I JUST LOVE IT!!!!

  14. Joy, I actually use hot glue from a gun but you must be really, really careful. It does take practice but the hot glue keeps the grass sticking for years.

    Thanks so much!!!!

    Hugs, Barb
