How to make mini towel cake slice favours

DIY wedding projects are a daunting task, and must be thought about thoroughly before starting the project. Consider things like, time it will take, cost, the maximum amount of days before the wedding it can be completed (you don’t want to have to do it the day before), and does it make more sense to purchase the item?

There are some great sites you can purchase towel desserts from including The Favour Shoppe. The Favour Shope offers a variety of colours, types, and sizes of towel dessert favours, and ships Toronto wide. Make sure you take a look at the Toronto Wedding Examiners review of The Favour Shoppe.

Towel cake slices are a great favour for weddings and bridal showers. They are a unique way to add flare to your event, and look perfect next to a plate at a seated event, or stacked on a gift table. Cake slices can be made in any colour you like to match your wedding events theme.

How to Make a Towel Cake Slice:

Things you will need:

• Cardboard
• Scissors
• Small towel
• Safety pins
• Ribbon
• Gift boxes or bags
• Toppers and fillers (candles, soap, candy, etc.)

Optional:

• Hot glue
• Fabric glue
  

Step 1

Print and cut out a cake slice template. Trace and cut out two cake slice templates on the cardboard. Fold along the dotted lines.

Step 2

Place the templates together to form the top and bottom of the cake slice, and then tape all the sides together, except one.

Step 3

Pour your choice of filler into the cake slice. Once you have filled the slice, tape the final side together.

Step 4

Place the towel in front of you, and lay the top of the cake slice on the towel. Make sure the tip of the cake slice meets the centre of one of the edges on the towel.

Step 5

Fold each side of the towel up and over to the bottom of the cake slice, starting with the two towel sides that meet the slice tip. If there is excess, fold back to the center bottom of cake slice, and pin it in place. Pin the towel as flat as possible.

Step 6

Turn the slice over and wrap the ribbon from the back of the slice around until it meets again. Pin, glue or tape the ribbon together. If using fabric or hot glue to attach the ribbon, glue only the ribbon ends and not the towel.

Step 7

Place your finished cake slice in a clear or open-top box, or a gift bag. Add your toppers by placing them on top or around your cake slice.

Tips

Stack your slices on top of each other on a small table so your guests can grab one on their way in or out. This will add beauty to your event, especially if the cake slices are in your party’s theme colors.
