Supplies

Download the Template (Print the template directly onto the cardstock. It's much easier that way! You will need to print ELEVEN of each)

If you have a Cricut machine, click HERE for the template

Scissors

Hole Punch

Bone Folder for Scoring

Double-Sided Tape

Assorted Cardstock, Ribbons, Punches, & Embellishments

Instructions

1) Remember, to make it easier, print templates directly onto cardstock

**Please note that you need ELEVEN of each piece**

2) Cut out cake pieces on solid lines and score on dotted lines

3) Apply double-sided tape to pointy flap and adhere as shown below

4) Apply double-sided tape to side flap and adhere as shown

5) Bring flaps together and punch a hole

6) Feed ribbon thru one hole, wrap around box, and feed out thru other hole

To make the curly things, cut strips of paper 1/2" wide and curl the end around a pencil.

Decorate each slice any way you want! On the slices below, I punched out different shapes and glued them onto the flaps.

For the cake topper, I painted a wooden knob and added some paper circles. I gathered up some ribbon and adhered it with glue.

Thanks for sharing! This is a great idea so that I can get away with making cupcakes instead of a big cake :) and the kids get to go home with a party favor! I think it would be fun to do w/ Halloween paper for a Halloween party :) http://daisy-head-mayzie.blogspot.com/

Thanks for the template - I made it for my cousins 60th birthday party and she loved it. I find the fun part taking the little boxes to the store to see what goodies will fit! (And I forgot to take a picture before she started to open them up...)

#11 Terri on 2010-08-08 09:31 (Reply)

I graduate from college September 12th, 2010 with an associates in accounting. I am not planning to attend commencement since it would require my driving three hours one way to the nearest university (I have attended online). Instead I am making one of these cakes and throwing a party for family and friends to have momentos and a fun time helping me celebrate at a local restaurant. I cannot wait to get it finished and see their reactions!

#12 Jeanie on 2010-09-02 22:43 (Reply)

Congratulations on your graduation! Have fun making the cake. We would love to see photos of your finished project!

#12.1 charlene on 2010-09-02 22:58 (Reply)

Hey, this is such a cute idea! I'm trying to get some perspective though, what size scallop circle punch did you use on the middle level? Thanks!

#13 Amy on 2010-09-14 02:04 (Reply)

Amy, the scallop circles are approx. 1 1/2". A 1 3/8" circle fits inside them.

#13.1 Charlene on 2010-09-14 10:22 (Reply)

I just download the template for this beatiful creation, but my Cricut Expression is not cutting it the same. I am missing half the middle triangle and one of the flaps. Any suggestions?

#14 Lucero on 2010-11-03 01:25 (Reply)

Unfortunately, I didn't make my cake pieces with the Cricut. I printed out the template directly onto the paper and then cut them out the old-fashioned way. Perhaps you could contact Cricut? I wish I could help, but I don't know anything about using a Cricut machine. (Go figure!)

#14.1 Charlene Harreveld on 2010-11-06 17:02 (Reply)

Oh thank you so much! I love the fact that there are 3 different sizes! How awesome! I just printed it out and getting ready to create ;)

#15 Emily (Homepage) on 2011-01-07 10:39 (Reply)

I just made this awesome cake following the template and put my own spin on it - check it out on my blog http://traceyfarr.blogspot.com/
