Method: a)Starting on the line of the pattern b) hold the knife in a 'straight' upright position with the blade completely extended (it extends 3") and c)using an up 'n down sawing motion, cut each layer out. d) Upon completion you will have some foam attached. With your fingers carefully seperate the foam and trim with the Utility Knife. You now have a relatively smooth circle! <br />For the wedges (or straight cuts) I recommend using an Electric Knife. Note: The same method cud be used for making complete pies or wedges, however the Utility knife position would be on a slight diaganol.<br />Also -- with the exception of a sewn removable slip-cover for the bottom tier that will cover the wedges; I am planning just to glue my felt on to all pieces for a snug fit as edges can be trimmed if necessary. (Use: non-toxic, clear drying fabric glue) <br />For candles -- I am just covering thin wooden dowels with felt that can be inserted in the top foam tier that has been drilled to accommodate them. <br />To save a lot of sewing -- Felt decorations for the entire cake will be in scale not only with my GD's play dishes but will be interchangable with cupcakes, petite-fours etc.<br /><br />THANK YOU AGAIN for your patience. I promise I won't ramble on any more. :) -Brenda-mrsbenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13490065292054880863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4540761711646097949.post-46807582615725232192012-01-02T16:58:53.757-06:002012-01-02T16:58:53.757-06:00Realize I am a late arrival to add a comment but a...Realize I am a late arrival to add a comment but as I made some felt food for my Grand Daughter (for Xmas) and still have a bit more to do, I am surfing the web and came across your site.<br />As a cake is on the list; I do appreciate your tutorial, so THANK YOU. In more ways than one, your creations are sweet. :) <br />Regarding the use of velcro, FYI (and others) I have found 'sheer ribbon' (the type they sell as Garland for Xmas Trees ... preferably without the wire) works exceptionally well as a fastener. Just attach the required amount either by machine, by hand, or beads of glue to the removable piece (only)! Because it is lightweight (no bulk), sheer to some extent (I used a flesh colour) and does not ravel it is also great to use as a stablizer or a base. ie: Shredded faux cheese. Depending upon the brand, sually it comes in 5 foot rolls and up to 6" in width so the price is right as well. -Brenda- google profile 'mrsben' CANADAAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4540761711646097949.post-44960405259083915292011-06-13T11:57:37.176-05:002011-06-13T11:57:37.176-05:00Muchas gracias!!!!!! esta super lindo!!!!!!!Muchas gracias!!!!!! esta super lindo!!!!!!!nadorniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12466697271105811731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4540761711646097949.post-67859710870359655732010-09-22T09:30:12.164-05:002010-09-22T09:30:12.164-05:00That looks so cool!!
