How to Make a Unique Cardboard Cake?
Cardboard cakes are not only an original gift but also a fun project you can make yourself. In this article, I will show you how to create your own cardboard cake, step by step, with all the necessary materials and techniques. Ready? Let’s get started!
Necessary Materials
Before we dive into the creative part, it's important to prepare everything you’ll need. Here’s a list of materials required:
- Cardboard cake templates
- Flowers (you can use paper or fabric flowers)
- Decorative ribbon
- Felt circles
- Half-sphere pearls
- Satin ribbon
- Hot glue gun
Assembling the Pieces
Now that you’ve prepared everything you need, it’s time to start assembling the pieces. First, you need to fold each cardboard template along the pre-marked lines.
Once all the parts are folded, close the pieces, starting from the side section and finishing with the back opening, where you can later add small surprises in each slice. You’ll need 12 slices to make a full cake.
Decorating the Pieces
Now that all the cake slices are assembled, you can move on to decorating:
- First, cut the flowers from their stems, if any, and arrange them on each slice. Use hot glue to attach them in the desired spots.
- Next, take the decorative ribbon and cut it to the required length. Attach it around the slice to add extra color and style.
Adding Final Details
Continue decorating by gluing the felt circles. Don’t forget about the pearls! They’ll give the cake a shiny and finished look. Use hot glue to attach them in places where they’ll look best. You can combine different colors and sizes for a more interesting effect.
Completing the Cake
Once all twelve slices are decorated, your cardboard cake is almost ready! It’s time for the final touch. Use satin ribbon to tie the slices together by wrapping it around them.
Hidden Surprises
One of the most fun aspects of cardboard cakes is that you can hide small surprises in the slices. Think about what little gifts or sweet surprises you can add to delight the recipient. This will make your cake not only beautiful but also surprising!
Creative Decoration Ideas
Cardboard cakes offer many opportunities for creativity. You can experiment with different colors, textures, and decoration styles. Try adding lace, other sparkling elements, or even small figurines to make the cake unique.
