Seize The Birthday - Cakes

 

Hello, it's my turn to choose the topping at Seize The Birthday, and seeing as toppings are involved, I thought I'd go for cakes.  Cupcakes, fairy cakes, layer cakes, gateaux, you choose.

I just love these Big and Bold cupcakes, and I love getting two for one out of these ginormous designs.  This one is Citrus Berry Cupcake.  I couldn't decide whether it should be berry coloured or citrus coloured, so I coloured one of each.

I just sloshed some Distress Inks on, leaving plenty of white space, then added splattering.  I like the effect of the sentiment stamped and diecut on orange card, it's rather eye-catching. Must do it more often.

Pop on over to the Seize The Birthday blog for some fabulous inspiration from the team and from our surprise party guest, Jenny, and play along with us.
