Sweet card, sweet birthday surprise

I participated the Sweet 16 challenge at the Michael Strong Yahoo group - and I won.
Just on time for my birthday... what a pleasant birthday surprise!
Three cards were selected by Mike, and there's a prize for the winners - one of Mike's stamp sets.
His stamps are so versatile and I'm having fun creating with them.
Here's what Michael Strong wrote about my card:

Dorly Weitzen - Israel
Happy Birthday to Dorly on April 1! Take a look at the birthday cake she made for herself and seven of her nearest and dearest. It looks delicious with the intricate icing and the dollops of chocolate. May I have a piece? Well done Dorly!

Thank you, Mike. You're inspiring me.

It's a piece of cake... for my birthday!

Tomorrow, April 1st, is my birthday. Seriously!
Please spare me the jokes, I've heard them all.

And here's my birthday cake - on a card I made for the Sweet 16 challenge at the Michael Strong Yahoo group.
It's a chocolate cake with whipped cream on top, chocolate decorations and pink candies. Yummy.

I used a textured light brown CS, a pearly textured pink CS, a dark brown CS,
white embossing powder, brown ink, my new Cloisonné Fan and Cloisonné Paisley MSRS,
pink pearls and a central decoration made of brown beads and sequins.

The Cloisonné Fan was stamped and heat embossed 4 times, then halved and glued, slice by slice, with 3D glue to add dimension.
The Cloisonné Paisley was stamped with brown ink and was also glued with 3D glue to add extra dimension.

Now I'm going to bake a delicious chocolate cake for my birthday - a real one :-)
