1. For this retro-looking cake, cover a 1/4-sheet cake with yellow icing and smooth with a spatula. With tip No. 5, pipe elongated “c” shapes, one right side up and one upside down, along one edge of the cake.

3. Use the same tip to extend the design down the sides of the cake.

4. With tip No. 45, pipe two straight black bands beside the curlicue design.

5. Add a thin line of white icing next to the black bands with tip No. 6.

6. Use a flower-shaped cutter to punch out one small and two large white fondant flowers. Place them on top of the cake.

7. With the small cutter, punch out two black fondant flowers, and center them over the larger white flowers.

8. Add a stitch effect to the larger flowers by piping short lines of black icing around the edges of the petals using tip No. 1.

9. With tip No. 6, pipe large white dots in the center of the two large flowers.

10. Outline the smaller flower in black icing using tip No. 1. Then, add a black center.

11. Add a white dot bottom border with tip No. 6.

12. Pipe an appropriate message using black icing and tip No. 3 to finish the design.
