This was a large sheet cake in two layers, a retirement cake for a passionate quilter. The quilt in progress shows names of her family, words of her faith, and hearts and tulips. The spools and pin cushion are styrofoam covered in fondant, and remaining sewing 'tools' are fondant. Tulips are added on top and on the left side (as this retiree's nickname is 'Tulip'). The tulip leaves are made of rice paper.
