So with cake you need frosting. My favorite as a kid was milk gravy frosting. it sounds bad, but it is so smooth and so sugary sweet.

THE RECIPE:
Milk Gravy Frosting
1 cup milk
6 dessert spoons flour dash of salt
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup shortening
1 cup white sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla
Blend milk and flour in saucepan. Cook over medium heat stirring constantly until thick. Cool ( about 1/2 an hou)
Cream together better, shortening, and sugar. Add in flour/milk mixture. Beat until fluffy and sugar is dissolved. Stir in the vanilla. Frost cooled cake.

THE CHALLENGE:
There is 1 cup of milk so use 1 photo
Since there are six spoons of flour use 6 different papers any way you want
There is only a dash of salt so sprinkle some small embellishments on your page. I used stars.
Since butter is smooth use something shiny on your page. I used some sequins
Shortening is also smooth, but I remember the Crisco always coming in the giant circle container. So use a circle or may circles or parts of circles on your page
For the 1 cup of sugar be sure to matt your 1 photo
Lastly there is some vanilla to give it a pop of flavoring so give your page a pop of thread, string, or twine.
