Creative Tuesdays - Birthday Something

Please visit the other talented Creative Tuesdays participants through to January 15th!

For Creative Tuesdays' 'Birthday Something theme' I thought back to one of my favourite birthdays.  I was 5 or 7 years old and my mom made me a Cinderella birthday cake, complete with pumpkin carriage sidecakes!  She stuck a doll down the centre of the cake and it looked something like this, I think (watercolour on cardstock 4.5" x 6.5", outlined with a fine point marker) :

Christine you have just taken me right back to my childhood. My mother had the torso and head of a little porcelain lady which sat on top of the cake then making the cake become her skirt.

Your drawing is so beautifully delicate, and what a memory for you.

Doll cakes were really popular when I was a kid. I remember my sister had one for her birthday one year! Lovely drawing!

What a lovely memory and thought. I too remember the doll cakes and how beautiful they turned out. You hated to cut and eat them they were so pretty.

It looked something like that? How about it looked exactly like that? I totally got what this was and what a great idea fora submission. Love it. Thank you, Christine!
