Quilty Fun Birthday - Paisley



Lori Holt designed the cutest Quilty Fun Birthday Cake banner.
You can get the link to the FREE pattern and more information on my recent post, here.
I decided to make a "quilty fun" birthday cake for each of my 11 grandchildren (wow, I can't believe I'm that blessed!) this year.
I'm going to make each cake into a personalized banner, and each year their moms can hang them on the wall to make their birthdays a little more special :)
Paisley Louise will have her first birthday in May.
I made her a red velvet cake, because I know it's her dad's favorite flavor.
I made sure that the cake pedestal had a paisley pattern too!


To personalize the cake and turn it into a banner, I added a 4 l/2" strip to the bottom of the cake.
I used wonder under and cut out the letters 3" high.
I ironed them on and used a blanket stitch on my sewing machine.
I found some fabric that reminded me of sprinkles, and cut 2 l/2" strips for the borders.  
I machine quilted it and voila, a pretty banner for Paisley :)



This is Paisley Louise in the Easter dress her mom made for her.
Isn't she as cute as can be?
One is a magical age :)

Quilty Fun Birthday!


In honor of Lori Holt's 1 year anniversary of her "Quilty Fun" book, she baked a cake and you can have a piece!


I baked a strawberry cake with buttercream icing and put it on my jadite cake pedestal.
Then I tied a pretty pink bow around it to remind me of all my pretty little grand daughters.


 Would you like to bake a cake, or more than one cake?
Go to Lori's blog and get the recipe,
Who doesn't love birthday cake, especially one that doesn't have any calories :)
