Make a Cake from the Stampin' Up Retirement list

I've been going through all my stamp sets and giving the retiring ones a little love. Today it's the turn of Make a Cake, a cute little set that I haven't used nearly enough! Come and see what I've made with it:

There are seven stamps in this set and you can mix and match them to make a whole variety of gorgeous cakes. Mine is a three-layer, melt-in-the-mouth lemon chiffon cake with a delicious tangy frosting... oh dear, I'd better stop right there!

I've arranged my cake on a platter, decorated it with flags and placed it in the spotlight created by a split panel front with an oval aperture. I backed the panel with Midnight Muse card stock and added So Saffron candy dots for a fun touch.

I'll be linking this card up with Addicted to Stamps and More where there's a Make Your Mark challenge.

When we were walking past a bakery the other day my youngest son became quite pensive. "Do you ever feel the overwhelming temptation to go in and buy a custard cake just so that you can push it in someone's face?" he asked. Er, no, I don't actually. And oh my goodness, just think of the lucky escape I've had all these years of passing bakeries with him!

See you tomorrow,
