PIN IT FRIDAY FAVS:
Birthday Cakes and the
Very Best of Pinterest Pins

I had a chance to make another tea pot and tea cup set last week plus I added a birthday cake idea I saw on Pinterest:


The tea pot and cup with the measurements and
video was shown in my post HERE...
then...I started seeing these adorable Hershey Nugget
cakes all over Pinterest and decided to create some
color coordinated trios!


(Happy Birthday die from Stampin' Up)

The directions on one of the Pinterest cakes
used a styrofoam ball cut in half, but that seemed like
a lot of mess...so I came up with a much easier solution.


I adhered the Nuggets to a 1" x 8" strip of black card stock - using red sticky tape to attach the Nuggets side-by-side to the strip while I curved it to form a circle. I trimmed the strip and left a tab to attach the last Nugget to the first Nugget. I simply hot glued the Nuggets to the heavy card stock small scalloped circle bases (made with Nesties). I also applied yellow Stickles paint to the candle tips to make them stand out. My formula for the construction was 7 Nuggets for the base, 6 for the middle layer and 5 for the top layer.

Here are a few more Pinterest pins of Hershey Nugget cakes:

The creativity incorporated into these cakes
really makes me smile ^_^
BTW: My Safeway sells a huge bag of Nuggets
and it seems that they have a new customer
since I discovered how to make no-bake cakes!

I can tell you first-hand that these cakes
will bring your friends and family
a lot of happiness!
