Make a Favor Cake

This unique idea originates in Italy where it is called "Torta Bomboniera" which translates into "favor cake." It's made by using carton boxes tied in the form of a cake. Each box has an object glued to it, and inside holds sugared almonds and a printed card. Depending on the object and colour(s) of the boxes, a favor cake makes a great decoration for all occasions, from christenings to weddings.

Steps

  1. Place the largest carton plate on a flat surface with the strip creating an edge.
  2. Assemble the boxes one by one and place them side by side on the carton plate, all the way around.
  3. Once the first layer is finished, add another (smaller) layer on top until the "cake" is finished.
  4. Gather the sugared almonds and tulle.
  5. Fill each of the boxes with five sugared almonds and a printed card.
  6. Glue an object to the top of each "slice."
  7. Prepare the central cover.
  8. Lay the central cover to the top of the favor cake.
  9. Attach an object to the central cover, and the cake is ready for compliments!
