1. Oh My Gosh! What amazing cakes! They are so so fun! I wanted to do all of them! Snort!
2. Of course the teapot cake jumped out at me! I almost chose it! I so wanted to do it but I thought I might save it and do it on Tuesday! Bwaahaha!!
3. When I was looking at these cakes one thing hit me! Big time! No candles, where are the candles. Well, that got me to thinking about these Inkadinkadoo stamps I have and one thing led to another! (Yabba-Dabba-Doo, Inkadinkadoo!)
4. I got this really cool flat tin and I have been trying to think of something fun to do with it and I hit me like a ton of bricks this morning, or should I say a ton of candles!
5. You will have to look at both pictures in order for this to make sense to you! But I can't wait to give one of these to some elderly friends! Snort!!
6. This little tin only holds 40 candles but 40 is good enough I think! These little tins are pretty inexpensive!!

Your gift for replicating an item just amazes me... i.e. your teapot cards! This is so cute... and the candles inside, so funny!!! You are one gifted lady!!!

I am shocked you didn't do the teapot card. But this I love. Both the candles and the cake. Hope those friends aren't too elderly if you're only giving them 40 candles!!!

I just knew you would pick the teapot one. LOL!!!! This card is fabulous!!!!! Great colors and love your details as always...teapot or not. Great story....I did not think of the candles. Wonder how much those will cost? Great work, Cindy!!!!

Not enough candles???What is wrong with you???!! Those of us who are old enough to have the fire dept. arrive without warning would be delighted to ONLY have 40 candles (a la the tin)!! The older I get, the more I just want to skip the candles, and sit down with a fork all by myself (and I can do the whole thing, just like Faith can do the turkey!!!)
