Make a Birthday Cake Banner in a “Flavor” the Recipient Loves!

Cynthia at DreamQuiltCreate began “baking” utterly charming quilted birthday cake banners for her grandchildren. Soon her daughters and daughters-in-law wanted them too.

We can understand why. There’s nothing like a personalized banner quilt to display during your birthday week (or month) to make you feel special!

Each cake banner is customized to the recipient – not just with their name, but also with colors they love or fabrics that mimic their favorite cake flavor.

It’s hard to decide which one we like best!

Here’s a lemon cake with strawberry icing for Kennedy.

Cynthia created a “Celebrate” cake for her son and his wife to share on their birthdays.

Cynthia’s birthday cake “baking” began with a pattern from her friend Lori Holt, who designed it to celebrate the 1-year birthday of the release of her book, Quilty Fun.

The first cake Cynthia baked using the pattern was a strawberry cheesecake.

A Chocolate Mousse cake soon followed.

Before long the idea popped up to add names and to make the birthday cake block into birthday banners.
