I just recently redid my craft room and found tons of stuff including my cake decorating supplies. About 100 years ago I did a lot of cake decorating, but I was pretty rusty when I tried my hand at decorating a cake for my brother in laws birthday last week.
Here's the fun part....I was standing there with my decorating bag filled with butter creme frosting and It came to me....

......Spackle and Furniture!!!
I decided to try it on this table I had just picked up at the thrift store
I filled my cake decorating bag with vinyl spackle, but I think you could use any form of spackle. I put 2 plaster flowers in the middle. How to make the plaster flower tutorial is HERE and HERE .
I used spackle to adhere the plaster flowers, then drew scrolls out to the side (I am really out of practice!)
After I let the spackle dry (It dries rock hard!) I painted the whole piece and finished with a coat of clear wax followed by dark wax to give the flowers dimension
It looks like a hot mess up close lol! But, stand back ....
I used vintage wallpaper on the inside shelf.....
And there you have it...Adding just a little Somethin...Somethin, makes all the difference!
I priced this little side table at $63.00 and it sold in 2 days.......Hum, I think I see more cake decorated furniture in my future!
Happy Creating!
