Cakes
| Make this Lacy Hat Cake with the Provo Craft Cricut Cake machine. |
Or make a doll cake. Decorate it with your favorite prom dress ideas.
Better
yet, decorate a square or round cake with white fondant and circle cut
outs of various sizes of black fondant. Maybe add a red fondant bow in
the center. Simple elegance.
Decorations
Your colors can go in almost any direction: pink and purple,
black and white with a dash of red, gold and red, turquoise and brown
or
whatever is most popular at the moment.
Make a centerpiece
with a pair of high heeled shoes filled
with flowers.
Use feather boas
for garland. Put large cut outs of stars
and flowers all over the walls. Cut them from fabric and then “glue”
them to
the wall with liquid starch. Or use white glue to secure fabric to
cardboard
cutouts of the shapes and then hang them up.
