My oldest loves to play birthday. Anything related to making birthday cakes, real or play dough she’s game. We also like to have ourselves quite a few tea parties and picnics. Since she loves birthday cakes so much I decided to make her a fake cake to play with. I wanted it to be pretty and over the top, this is what I used.
- empty containers, various sizes
- a plastic plate
- scrapbook paper
- hot glue
- fake flowers
- birthday candles
- scissors
- ribbon
- mod podge
I kept this project very simple:
- cut out scrapbook paper to fit top and sides of containers
- mod podged scrapbook paper to containers, with an outer coat as well
- hot glued the dried containers together to form the cake
- hot glued ribbon around the containers to add decor to the cake
- hot glued fake flowers to the cake in a circular pattern
- poked two holes into the top container using a hammer and nail
- poked candles into the holes I created on the top layer and pushed them into the cake until they were freestanding
So far Gemma loves this cake and we’ve had a few good birthday parties!
