Diy Faux Cake

Diy Faux Cake

Now here's one you can sink your teeth into!

Seriously, if you are looking for a fun and easy diy

this is it, and the best part of it is there are no calories involved!

To start this project you want to purchase a styrofoam round,

the one I used is a 8" round.  I purchased mine at Michael's for $6.99.  You can also use smaller rounds that are 1" high that you can hot glue together.  They have them at the Dollar Tree and it would take 3 of those to create the height of a tall cake.

Using any color of brown and a sponge brush

paint your cake!

You don't have to worry about covering it 

perfectly as you will be "frosting" it shortly 

After it dries you get to go onto the next and most

fun part of the project.

Frosting your cake!

I purchased the vinyl spackling instead of the 

light weight type as it's creamier and less dry

than the light weight ones. 

Spreads just like real

frosting.

While I was frosting the cake I started craving

a piece of cake!  Good thing I had some chocolate on hand!

This was so fun to do!

Here it is all dry.

I added just ONE coat of the spackling

Moving on to the last step, decorating 

your cake.  You can use leaves or flowers.

I made these little pale pink roses out of 

paper  and the greens are a pick I had bought

a few years ago. 

Look through what you have, even pretty leaves 

would look great!

I hope you give this a try!

And if you do,  send me off a picture of it!

Happy creating!
