Yummy (Felt) Cake
I haven’t baked for the longest time because most of my baking stuff had been packed away and stored at the house we’re going to move in later this summer (or so my parents said). However I still want to make a cake for Al and after doing some research for ideas, I’ve “baked” this special cake with chocolate ganache and topped with strawberries.
Here's Al with the "magic" cake (it's magical because you can never finish it...)
Making the felt cake took about 10-12 hours. I didn’t have any templates to work with so had to use some imaginations for making the seeds of the strawberries and the ganache. I bought a cake box from Daiso to put the cake in. The only thing I would have done differently was to add some weight to it. Since it felt so light when you hold the box with the felt cake inside.
Here are some pictures of the individual pieces.

I wish I can sew better because some parts of the white (cake base) were showing on the edge. I think I’ll try to make a mini cake magnet next.
this is adorable xD subbie looks so happy holding onto it…
your sewing is NOT bad at all! i wish i can learn from you T__T
just put a disc of card inside the base of the cake, it will stop the bottom showing on the sides x trust me, making felt cakes is my job!!
