Slumber Party
This is my version of the popular slumber party cake. Thanks to all of you for your wonderful cakes. The Mom came to me with many pictures from CC and had picked every aspect of the scene. I took it and added my own touches. The entire top was removable and kept. The cake matched the inside of the announcement. The rug on the floor of the room matched the paper pattern of the invite. The birthday girl on the right is holding a teddy that matches Annebelle's actual teddy. Each of the girls had hair the same color as the guests. The flowers on the board were fondant candle holders. The cake on the night stand had an 8 on the top. Such a fun cake topper. Thanks again for all your inspiration.
