You may remember I that I posted the tea towel cake that my sister made for my Mom for Mother’s day. Well this time, I made one! My Mother in law has been out of town since before Mother’s Day and today we finally get to see her. With stores getting out their 4th of July decor, I thought it would be fun to do it up patriotic style.

For the second layer of the cake I actually used a plastic water pitcher.You can see the clear plastic peaking out the top of the plaid towel a little bit. My MIL uses these a lot for family dinners, and she could always use another one.

I used some cute denim trim to wrap around the front and embellished with a cute little rosette. I hope she likes it. I’m also giving her this Blue China mod podged box, so between the two we should be good.

In case you forget, the original idea and tutorial for the tea towel cake came from the always inspiring, Aly & Ash.
