They are beautiful but you can’t eat them (shame!), We are talking about the DIY cardboard cakesa cute idea to be built on the occasion of birthdays and various holidays. They are mostly decorative but if desired, you can also use them to hide many different surprises destined for the birthday boy or the birthday girl. There are even those who use them as favors.
But How to make a cardboard cake? You can take advantage of the cardboard to create the different floors, as in this example, where they were united with adhesive tape.
Or recover the cardboard by obtaining it from the old boxes.
Once the structure of the cake is ready, you will have to cover the plans with light cardboard or paint them and decorate them with various embellishments. To glue the cardboard, which will of course be cut to measure, use hot glue.
If, on the other hand, a round cardboard box advances, you could create a cake without floors, decorating it with cherry cards, PON PON and candles. About the candles, recover the paper straws and paste on the upper part of the cardboard flames.
You can also add a “happy birthday” writing by gluing it directly on the cake with hot glue and finishing the latter with strips of crepe paper. The effect is really nice.
Inside the cakes insert various surprises intended for the celebrated. Or use cardboard cakes as decorative elements for the birthday table or other parties.
