Cakes.....From 2D to 3D

Moving forward i wanted to make the cakes more lifelike, fun for children to touch and play with, for pretending and imaginative games. I made cakes out of card and making very simple patterns began to reproduce them in lovely bright fabrics.
Although i love these, they are not incorporating the digital print that i want. I also feel that maybe some need to have more of a function....maybe childrens furniture to go in the play tents?
