Does anyone have the instructions or know where to find Earlene Moore's "puffy base" instructions? I thought they were on her website, but can't find them. I'm needing a decorative and inexpensive cake plateau for a cake display, and thought this would be pretty... ?!

No idea but here's a bump

She sells the instructions for those. I've made them several times and they are very easy to do if you know how to sew.

It is basically a ring of fabric with elastic on the top and bottom. The styrofoam is carved so the sides are slated.

ooh interesting. i didn't know she was selling the instructions on her site.
My WMI made one at home. She told me how and all, but my memory is horrible.

I used 3" high styrofoam on mine.

Do you just crave the styrofoam with a knife to make the edge round, I guess. Cake for thought.

Thank you Miriel

I carve using a heated tool: http://www.thecraftplace.com/store/moreinfo.cfm?Product_ID=327

It makes clean cuts and I don't get messy styrofoam bits when I do it this way.

I cut the sides straight diagonally down, leaving about 1/2" on the bottom with straight sides. This is to make the bottom edge sturdier and not as fragile.
