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!

  1. your photo that was on foodgawker – just lovely! wanted to tell you that. very cute ideas 🙂

  2. So, it’s probably time to start the “i am baker Fan Club” after seeing these cute polka dots! I’ll be the president! 🙂
    Love these! Wish I could be friends with some of these lucky partying people!
    *How long do you have to let the frosting dry before you can stack the cookies? I’m obviously not waiting long enough…then I have to eat all the smudged ones. It’s getting bad!

  3. I think a cake that cute deserves a reward. You should buy yourself some polka dot undies. I would buy them for you, but that might be weird. 😉
