A Birthday Cake for a Sewing Enthusiast

I recently had a Birthday, big enough to warrant a party and a friend of mine made the most amazing cake. It was a sewing themed cake. It was a surprise and I had no idea until she arrived on the night.

All the decorations were handmade in fondant. Cotton reels, a dress dummy, lace, scissors, buttons, tape measure, a pin cushion with pins, to name a few. It was fantastic.

My friend is a Scientist by day and has been taking a cake decorating course in her spare time.

The cake is long gone, but I can't bear to throw the decorations away. They are in my kitchen drying out, not sure how long they will last, or what I even plan on doing with them, but anyway!!

My dress (I'm on the left) is Gerties Pattern for Butterick (5882) and still needs to be blogged about.
