3. Sew the pink rectangle to the polka dot rectangle to make a rectangle 10” x 12 1/2”. Press the seam to 1 side.
4. Place the white plate stand appliqué in position on the polka dot and pink rectangle, and fuse in place.
5. Place the cake plate appliqué in position on the stand. Slide the rickrack under the lower edge of cake plate, trim the excess, and fuse the plate to the background. Stitch lower edge, including rickrack, in place by machine.
6. Place the cupcake holder appliqué on the cake plate, and position the cake appliqué at top of cupcake holder, sliding the bottom edge of the cake under the top of the holder. Fuse both in place.
