What I did this weekend

We had a party yesterday for our sweet little stinker Clementine, who turns 3 today!!! She requested a Lowly Worm cake, and I was more than happy to take on the challenge.

If you follow me on Instagram (madebyrae) you got to see the "magic" unfold yesterday...hee:

I have to say this is definitely the most "involved" cake design I have ever attempted. It required a bit of creativity because I wanted to avoid piping any frosting: cocoa powder for Lowly's body, marshmallow and chocolate chip for his eye, marshmallow rolled in red sugar for his bow tie. I have to say I was v. proud of self after the birthday girl expressed her satisfaction with it.

I also finished a special birthday dress for her with some Sarah Jane fabric I'd been saving for this occasion:

More pics of that later (the birthday girl is due to wake up from her nap soon)!
