We're going to the 50th wedding anniversary party on Sunday for Glenn's best friends. They are fantastic people and barrels of fun. As soon as I met them, I fell in love with both of them. They're fun and funny and good, solid friends. The best of the best.
I got a nutty idea in my head last week that I wanted to make a little something to give them as a remembrance of the occasion, soooo....
I bought some white silk carnations, some gold glitter, a couple of candles (a "5" and an "0") and rummaged around in my stash of crafting goodies and came up with some large Chinet dinner plates and a glass candle holder I got at a yard sale eons ago.
So what do you come up with with these items. You come up with this:
First, the "cake" -
Second, the "pedestal" or cake stand -
And, finally, the finished product -
I had a blast making it and, best of all, no calories!
