Favor "FAKE CAKE" for Showers..We added flowers

We made this favor cake today from $12.00 in dollar tree supplies. We bought the silver tray, 4 packages of ribbon, 3 packages of 12 favor boxes. THen I bought two bouquets of white roses, and two of baby's breath.

I cut the band on the cricut, out of 12x24 inch paper. We cut a ring out of card board with slits in it, put it in the middle of the tray, then we put each of the favor box handles through.

The bottom layer of the "cake" is probably 15 inches. I think we used 18-20 boxes..I'll count later. The top layer was formed in a 8 inch cake pan until we put the paper band around it. We cut an 8 inche circle on the cricut that we put under the 8 inche layer.

 I put the ribbon spools in the middle and glued them together to make a pillar to sit the 8 inch layer on it. We added some frilly bows, and the heart border around the bands.

We might add some flowers to add some color.

We still need to take it apart and put something INSIDE the favor boxes later. The wedding is not until October.

This is a similar idea to diaper cakes but made with favor boxes.

Here is a web site that sells custom favor cakes made to order.
