The start of something beautiful

...I hope! The O.B. and I are headed to a surprise 50th b-day party for a great friend tomorrow. This wonderful woman and her DH are some of the most influential people in our lives. They are continuously supportive. They are great fun at Disney. They are a couple to model our relationship after. They have amazing faith.

So, after taking this cake to their super fun Superbowl party.

I've decided to make a birthday cake. This lovely lady deserves a beautiful cake. She loves antique items with class. She is a gem. She is a work of art. She is a masterpiece. I thought a jewelry box styled cake would be fitting.

The lovely, toasty, scrumptious smelling cakes.

The items that will decorate the cakes. There is a set of silver jewelry to place into the box. I'm in the process of beading silver and pearl beads to use as an edgeing. And curly-q stamps to use as a pattern.

Wish me luck!!!!! Hopefully I'll be back before the end of the weekend with a finished project and pics of a great surprise!
