I need to make 2 cakes for my twins' birthday. One LLLLOOOOVVVEEESSS scrapbooking so I'm collecting ieas for her cake. I was thinking either an open book with both pages like a scrapbook with a couple of pictures and the lettering and trimming cut from fondant. I was thinking a pair of scissors also. Then I'm stuck. What do you think and do you have any tips, advice and/or ideas for me? Should I make it a closed book witht he materials scattered on top and around the scrapbook? Thanks for any ideas!

Here is a scrapbook cake that I made using the open book idea and sounds similar to what you were thinking. Feel free to use it for ideas if you'd like.

I think your ideas is cute. You could do the open book with some edible image photos of her when she was younger. And make it look like she just finished the page with scrapbook stuff laying on the board around the cake, like the sissors, glue, pieces of cut paper, etc. It will be so cute. maybe even dragees or edible sprinkles for accents like how the scrapbook stickers are sparkly.

How did you make the pieces of paper? Fondant?
I like the idea. I have to make an adult birthday cake for someone who like scrapbooking.

I used edible images over thin white fondant for the scrapbook paper.

How do you make edible images?
