Hello my friends! I'm posting today with another cake pan upcycle.
While I have done a lot of fake cakes using foam, sometimes I like the simplicity of using an actual cake pan as my base. Read on to see how a set of three rounds became this faux strawberry layer cake:

After finding this set of pans for $1 garage sale, I cleaned them and glued them together. Because the old stickers were flat, I didn't worry about completely removing them. I knew that I could cover them up with paint.
Using Apple Barrell in pink parfait, I gave the pans a couple of coats and let dry.
After painting I used lightweight spackle (in an icing bag) to add decorative borders to the sides and a dollop on top. These artificial strawberries from Amazon made the perfect topping!
I'm working on adding more decor to the storage closet that I call my bakery. Mostly this area serves to store my off-season fake bakes, but I want it to be a pretty place to visit as well. Over time I've been adding more pieces, now including this strawberry layer cake!
If you want to see the rest of the bakery storage and decor, click here. The post is mostly dedicated to storage and organization, but it does give a good view of the bakery shelf. I'll create an updated post soon. Until then, you can check out these posts to see the rest of my faux food displays:
Didn't the turn faux layer cake turn out nicely?

Looks pretty realistic to me, and quite yummy might I add. I would never thought to just paint the pans and glue together. I think I could even try this one. Thank you for sharing!

DeleteThis reminds me so much of a pretend cake my teacher had the first year of school. She had a decorated tin and would bring it out for everyone's birthday, would light candles and we would all sing. Happy memories!
ReplyDeleteI think that's why I love fake bake decor so much, it reminds me of my childhood kitchen toys!
DeleteThis is pretty Jennifer! I'll be featuring it on tomorrow's Crafty Creators. Thanks for sharing!
