eWillow.com is all about creating, selling, buying, and sharing handmade paper art. I'm happy to share with you another version of the paper cake. It is a great item to make if you are hosting or attending a small luncheon. It would make a great centerpiece or hostess gift. You can fill each piece with delicious chocolate truffles.
For this cake, you will only need to use the template for the top layer of the cake (the smallest template.)
- Click HERE for the template and tutorial.
- Click HERE for photos of the three-layer cake.
- If you have a Cricut machine with the ability to connect your machine to your computer, click HERE for the template.
- You will need to print 11 pieces of the top layer.
For the cake plate, I used the lid to a round paper mache box. All I did was wrap strips of cardstock around the edge, cut a circle to cover the top, and added a scalloped trim.
For this cake, I didn't attach the pieces to each other like I did with the three-layer cake. If you are transporting the cake, you could use a little piece of double-sided tape to make sure the cake pieces stay together, but if you aren't moving the cake, there really isn't any need to adhere the pieces to each other.
I die-cut a large scallop circle and then cut out a smaller circle to make a solid layer on the top of the cake. I purchased a box of miniature plastic fruit over a year ago on clearance for under $2. I knew that they would come in handy one day!
Now you make one! Be sure to show us photos of what you make so we can all see! You can upload the photos to your eWillow.com studio, or become a fan of eWillow.com on Facebook and upload your photos there, too. (But why not open a studio? It's free, and you can sell your stuff, too, if you want!)
