Tool Box Birthday Cake & Card

October 19, 2016 By Michelle

toolboxcakeMy Dad turned 60 a few days ago and I wanted to share the tool box birthday cake I made him.  Now, I am a self taught cake decorator.  My mom was really good at decorating cakes.  When she passed away I inherited all her cake decorating supplies.  I never imagined I would decorate any kind of cake but the past few years I have given it a try decorating them for my kids and a few friends.

I decided on a tool box because my entire life my dad has been a hard worker and always fixing something, building something or helping someone.  To do all those things he uses tools.  I remember always looking at the large red tool boxes filled with tools growing up.  Inside of the cake is a homemade carrot cake with cream cheese frosting.

Here are some up close pictures of the sides of the cake.  I use molds to make chocolate tools, and luster dust to give it the metallic look.  Everything was edible!

What would a birthday be without a birthday card….we needed a coordinating card at that.  Here is my card I made him.

I used the Silver Foil Sheets and the Sparkle Embossing Folder in the Big Shot to make that cool background.  The wrenches were made with punches.  A 1″ Circle Punch, with the retired Word Window and small Scallop Circle Punch.  I used Guy Greetings for my sentiments on the card.

Thanks for taking a look at the Tool Box Cake and coordinating card!
