Welcome to the fifth week of Project Friday hosted by Rosemarie at Sugarplum Cottage. Please check her blog for all information. Thanks Rosemarie! http://sugarplumcottage.blogspot.com/Decorative Faux Cakes
You will need two styrofoam discs 8 X 2 inches.Easter grass in your choice of colors
Hot glue gun and glue
Popsicle sticks
Decorative elements for the top.
Start by gluing the two discs together
Apply a dot or two of glue to the discs and apply a bit of grass
Push the grass into the glue with the popsicle sticks and not your hands!
Finish sides first and then the top of discs
Use scissors to shape the cake in the desired look.
Top with faux elements of your choice and place on a pretty dish.
**This craft looks (and is) simple but does require some practice.
Hope you like this. I really enjoy the look of these faux cakes in my home.

Hi Barb,
Thank you so much for asking about me. It's been a very trying week for our family. Thankyou for caring...that means so much!! :)
I just purchased the rest of the things to make a faux cake today, so when I saw your post I smiled and thanks for the popsicle sticks tip because I hadn't thought of that. :)
Have a GREAT weekend and hope to hear from you again soon. You are such a dear friend!!!
