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 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!

  9. I’ve been trying to make a layer cake. But everytime I crumb coat it the cake falls apart. I wait until the cake has cooled down to crumb coat it. But when I out icing it starts break around the top and such. What can I do?

  10. How do you get your colors so bright? I have wiltons food coloring but my icing colors are always dull or soft. I love the really bright icing polka dots against the white of the cake. Very cute!
