step 3 of 6

Added two more layers to the cake.

Used Blender's Material settings to change the color of the cake to pink.

My layers are a little off because It's homemade cake. Homemade cakes are always lopsided! Well, mine are anyway.

step 4 of 6

Made one of those glass covers for the cake out of another cylinder. Originally I used blue. But I don't like the way it came out. Changed it to white later.

Used Ray Mirror and Ray Transparency.

I also put a hemi light beneath it to light it from within.

step 5 of 6

Added a Spot Light directly above the cake and another. Made a bowl with a cylinder. Made icecream scoops out of UVSpheres and colored them. Added Ray Mirror and Ray Transparent to the bowl.

Added a Plane (Spacebar>Add>Mesh>Plane). Used Node Editor to make a checkerboard pattern. Colored it black and a very very light pink. Added a little bit of Ray Mirror.

Changed the color of the spotlight to light blue. Added a little bevel to the checkerboard. Moved the stuff around on the surface. Made adjustments to the camera angle.

In Shading mode, select World Buttons. Select Blend and Paper. Chose a dark Blue and a Dark Purple.

Select Stars. Size: 3.9 and Max on Color Noise. Looks like confetti or sprinkles!
