I love polka dots.

Like. Love love polka dots. I even pretend I have polka dot underwear.

Dont judge.

But anyway, I was in love with this cake from its conception.

This happy fun sparkly polka dot invitation paper was the perfect inspiration.

I wrapped long skinny glass vases in the paper.

And wrapped silverware in coordinating polka dot ribbon.

Then filled the long skinny vases with huge dot cookies on a stick.

I made silver dollar size polka dot cookies on a stick.

I made way to many huge polka dot cookies on a stick.

Good thing I really enjoy eating huge polka dot cookies on a stick.

And there had to be lots and lots of mini polka dot cookies for munching.

Pink was my favorite.

Now that its done, I have thought of 100 more ways to celebrate the polka dot.

I am just crossing my fingers I get to make another polka dot cake in the future!

  4. Ditto what BethieofVA said. I want to be just like you when I grow up! When I first saw all the polka dots, I immediatly thought of when Bridget went to NY and met the Cake Boss. When I went to vote for her cake, they had tutorials on how to make those cakes and one of them was a polka dot cake! I’ve been wanting to decorate a cake with fondant ever since, but have resisted using fondant since you said it tastes like poo.
