…..you want to make a cake for your Sister who’s turning 49 and insist that there be 49 candles on the cake?
I tell you what happens…..the darn thing catches on fire! 😀 49 candles on a cake – even on a layered cake – is a heck of a lot 😀
Luckily this is only a paper cake…..
Ok….the fire isn’t real either 😀
Phew! 😉
This is the new Topsy Turvy Cake from Simply Crafty Svgs totally covered with the 49 candles. I used the candles from the Birthday Cake and downsized them to 75% of the original. The candle on top is #49 and is in original size 😉
49 candles is a LOT of assembling 😉
I used AC cardstock in bright rainbow colors and patterned paper from DCWV’s Rainbow Splash Stack. I LOVE color….can you tell?
I also made flames in different sizes and color to put here and there on the cake. I found it in the Silhouette Design Store design ID #2830 by Silhouette.
I also found the fun little Stick Figures in there design ID #29027 by Snapdragon Snippets and these help tell a little funny story about the fire 😉 These are cut from black Pearl Paper.
This little guy is trying to out run the flames…..
….while this one is trying to help his buddy who’s hanging on for dear life.
Here is one hanging on a candle while his friend lost his grib and has fallen off the cake plate….poor little guy 😦
These guys are working hard on trying to put out the fire but the fire extinguisher (from the Light the Candles Card also by Simply Crafty Svgs) is way to large for them so they have to climb up to reach the handle – one is already there and another one is trying with the help of his friend. They have it going cause one little dude is blown away by the foam spray and one candle is almost put out. One little guy is not so lucky because he’s hanging off the side of the cake with his head on fire 😮
I saw that these guys needed help so I made a fire truck to come and hose down the fire. I found this in the Silhouette Design Store as well design ID #62496 also by Snapdragon Snippets. I down sized it to 50% and as you can see, it’s tiny! But the ladder is working…..
…..and soon help is on the way as one guy is operating the truck while his co-worker is running off the ladder to help all the guys in need.
Unfortunently they forgot their firehose and the truck has caught on fire 😮
Good thing is only paper….right? Imagine what 49 real candles can do? 😮
Happy 49th Birthday Sis (when the day comes) Now you know what coming to you 😉

Hi! It’s CyncerelyCyn from Instagram! I think this cake is hilarious and sooo well done, as are all of your projects!!
I’ve noticed you resize alot. Do you resize each individual piece or do you resize the whole project at once?
Your projects always turn out so perfect!

Thank you so much for your sweet comment 🥰 Yes I resize a lot due to lack of storage space and when I do, I resize the whole project at once

You said you resized the candles 75%. I think the candles are two sizes. Did you use both sizes or just one and if only one, was it the small one or the larger one? Very cute cake!

So sorry for this late reply. I resized both sizes – the large size is the lonely one on top 🙂
