Cutie Pie Cake Slice Box

Welcome to the weekend!

I hope you have something spectacular planned?

Here at the Warren, it will be business as usual, caring for our menagerie of various animals, and our bee Hives too

Time to do a Hive inspection to see how much honey they have produced so far! hmmmm yum!!

And talking of Yum, I also have 2 cakes to design

The first is for a special little lady who wants a Monster Hi Cake ... so no pressure there!

But the second, is a Minions Wedding Cake

Yes, you heard me correctly!

The bride wants her wedding made as fun as possible for all the attending children.

& that means ....

Yes, I have a whole batch of Cake Boxes to make for the children (and the adult kiddies amongst us) so their cakes can be taken home without getting squashed.

Fortunately for me, Stampin Up has released a new Thinlets Die,

Yes, the Cutie Pie die set comes not just with the box die, but also various accessory dies, including words, flowers, toppers, and dies for the edges, a bow and more.

Now on this occasion, I haven't used the bow in the die pack, instead, I have used the Bow Punch Builder Stamp as I wanted something a little more out there

I added sections of Tea Lace Doily between the boc and the box topper.

There is a co-ordinating stamp set. Sweet Stack, that also comes as a Project Kit Bundle.

Now I thought I had added the stamp set to the order, but I hadn't!

So after reminder to self to check order before paying

I looked through my stamp stash, and decided the Chalk Lines Photopolymer Stamp Set would work nicely

I think it worked well, don't you?

I used Very Vanilla Cardstock with Mint Macaron Classic Ink Pad for the stamping, and finished the cake box with one of the In Colour Blossom Accents flowers

(I went for Watermelon Wonder to add contrast)

The joy of making your own Cake boxes, is that you can co-ordinate everything

Table Numbers, Place Cards, Invitations, Order of Service, even your own table confetti using the hearts or stars confetti border punches.

So of course, for the wedding cake I will be making, I will choose

Pacific Point & Daffodil Delight colour scheme

I will try and remember to post a photo of the finished cake ... but it is not until August, so I still have time to do the planning!

And I think I will need it. he he
