Nothing says sweet like a Quilted Baby Blanket, a Big Fat Bow and Polka Dots! I wanted to explore my pattern ideas beyond the cake itself for this piece. The idea of making the actual cake plate into a design rather than on the cake was an uneasy concept at first. However with a little creativity, it turned out to be absolutely adorable and was the exact answer I was looking for to complete the design of this cake! I always have to keep in mind that there needs to be a specific balance with design. Using specific accents and patterns can make all the difference in the world when it comes to art. Even On a Crazy Topsy Turvey Cake with a large variety of colors, patterns, designs and props coming out of the cake, there is still a balance, similar attributes and ways that the creator connects each layer to the other. As simple as this cake is, it defiantly put my mind to the test! And when Matching Polka Dot Sneakers came to my mind to compliment my new plate design, I was ecstatic!
