"It's Your Day" Dylan! Scrapbook Lay-out

Here is a layout I completed to capture the memories of my nephew Dylan's 1st Holy Communion.

Cricut Cartridges Used:
  • It's Your Day ~ George
  • Dylan ~ All Mixed Up
  • Family ~ Alphalicious
  • Wine Cup ~ My World
  • Vine ~ Zooballoo
  • Cross ~ Indie Art
The grapes are a circle hole punch.

I am very please at how this layout turned out.....

Now, onto the fun eating part....
I am NOT a cake baker but gave this one a shot...and made his cake for his party. Sheeewwww.... it was time consuming and fun to make. On the bottom layer I made it 1/2 chocolate and 1/2 white. On the top layer I baked a 9 x 13" and using cardstock template I scored the cake with a toothpick and then cut around the cup with a serated knife. I iced it in differnt colors, used skittles for the "jewels". I used fondant for the very first time (name, date, the grapes, vine and leaves) ~ all I can say is someone like it because there was only a very small piece left at the end of the party. HA! Ü
This is actually 3 cakes (2 1/2 if you count the scoring of the cup) ~ this picture is deceiving - this was a big cake. Yummo!


Hugs everyone,

Tracy
