love&lace: DIY felt & leather cell sleeve

A groovy, tie-dye cake — with colors inside and out — would be fun for an end-of-the-summer party! This cake is a showstopper, but actually just uses a basic marbling technique. You tint four bowls of the batter different colors, put drops of the colored batter on top of the white batter in the cake pan and pull a knife through it, which gives it the “groovy” look. The frosting is simple, too, just use gel tubes to make hexagon shapes and then a pull a toothpick through them, starting in the center.

(my skin doesn't miss it. as a matter of fact, i now wish i listened more and DID put SPF on my face...hindsight is 20/20). my mom calls me from her walk on the beach almost every morning...
