Cake Towel as Your Wedding Gift
An Unforgettable Wedding Gift – Cake Towel
One of the most remarkable and beautiful wedding gifts I have ever seen was created by one of my sisters for another sister's wedding. She built a pristine "wedding cake" from white towels and decorated it with ribbons, held in place with pearl pins, and hid a cd in one of the layers, not that anything additional was needed. The "cake" was such a work of art it stole the show from the real cake! Everyone wanted to know who had made it, how long it took, etc, and no one with a camera passed up a chance for a snapshot of it.
Creating a towel cake can be as simple or as complicated as you need it to be. It is easy to make it unique with your own special touches and add personal touches that will make it an unforgettable part of any wedding or shower.
This is easy to make and the bride to be will love the personalized touch! The colors can be coordinated to go with the wedding theme and colors.
Step 1. Roll the Towels
Fold each hand towel in half lengthwise twice. Start with one end and roll the towels together. Set aside. Repeat this process with the wash cloths. Fold each bath towel in half lengthwise and repeat the folding until the width of the towel is roughly 6". Roll the two towels together in the same way as the hand towels. You should now have the three layers of the cake.
Step 2. Assembling The Layers
I used large wide rubber bands to hold each individual layer together for ease of handling. To decorate choose ribbon in colors that coordinate with the towels or wedding colors. My niece had requested purple towels so I selected a wide white ribbon adorned with pearls. Cut the ribbon into 60", 40" and 30" lengths. Tie the large piece around the bath towels layer and repeat for the other two cake layers. When complete, stack the cake layers starting with the largest layer at the bottom. I used small pins to hold the layers in place. If you do use pins try to place them through the tags on the towels not the towels themselves.
Step 3.
This is the fun part! Use your imagination and decorate with silk flowers, fall leaves or wedding bells. I placed the cake on a footed Cake Plate for presentation.
These tasteful cakes look so delicious. But please do not eat. It is the soft cotton washing clothes artfully hand wrapped to resemble a tasteful cake. This delicious looking designed favor will make your mouth water, but it is calorie free. They are great for wedding favors, bay showers, gift baskets, Christmas stocking items and all other occasions
Different Towel Cakes for Different Occasions
A towel cake is a unique and creative way to give a Gift for a wedding shower or a housewarming gift. I use matching bath towels, hand towels and wash cloths for the Towel cake. There will be 2 - 30 X 54" bath towels, 4 - 16 X 26" hand towels and 3 - 12 X 12 wash cloths. For a romantic theme, I use bath products such as lotions, bubble bath, incense, bath beads and other items. For a bath/kitchen theme, I use wooden spoons, wire wisks, spatulas and other cooking utensils. The color schemes vary and can be specified by the customer. The ribbons used can be specified to be a wedding theme, otherwise the ribbons will be color coordinated to the color of the towels used. The towel cake pictured is a chocolate cake theme. The bottle in the top of the cake is a champaign shaped bottle of scented bubble bath. Additional picture will be posted in the future.
Wedding Towel Cakes are Full of Charming Surprises!
The first thing to consider when makeing wedding towel cakes is what kind of towels to use. The usual "recipe" calls for two bath towels, two hand towels, and two washcloths, all white. But you can adjust towel cakes to include any type or number of towels you want. If you know what color towels the couple would prefer, choose accordingly. Don't skimp on quality. You'll only save a few dollars, and the appearance of your towel wedding cakes will suffer.
Decorations for your wedding towel cakes are limited only by your imagination. The tiers of wedding towel cakes would look elegant "belted" with wide ribbon. Or tie smaller bows and pin them here and there. Faux flowers are another possibility. Pearl-topped straight pins inserted around the edges give a finished look, help hold the cake together, and are a gift in themselves. Make sure, though, to warn the recipient of the hazard.
Your finished towel wedding cakes will have to sit on something, and a pretty bath tray would be perfect. You might want to buy the tray before putting the towel cakes together to make sure of a good fit. You could also set the cake on a matching round bath mat or rug. Surround the cake with scented flower-shaped soaps. Tie a bow around the handle of a fancy pumice scrubber and lay it beside the towel cake as a "server."
Cake Towel Gain More Popularity
Cake towel is practical and yet full of personality; so despite of the price which is a bit higher than traditional wedding gifts, people still prefer it as cute and romantic Wedding Gifts for the once a lifetime occassion.
Currently, towels sold as, for instance, a gift are folded in various manner and arranged in a storage box, and the top side of the storage box is covered with a transparent film, so that the customers can see the arranged towel(s) inside the box through the film, thus drawing the attention of the customers and increase the customer's desire to purchase. Among these, with the focus on characteristics such as the towel's texture, thickness, and flexibility, some towels are formed into animals and dolls by way of attaching the towel cloth by sewing or fastening with a pin or the like, thus being offered exclusively as decorations.
In recent years, there has been an increasing demand for cake-shaped decorative accessories using a towel cloth as a gift or present, and there has been a demand for other types of decorative accessories that have a cake shape.
Traditional wedding gifts such as chocolate gifts are so common that people want to add some personality and uniqueness to their wedding gift; cake towel seems to be a perfect choice.

I'm making a Barbie Doll Cake in a Lady Gaga style?
?For cookery I'm making a barbie doll like this > http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3429/3382159121_65f41d3800.jpg
But I want the barbie doll to be like Lady Gaga. I was wondering if anyone had any tips on what type of dress to do, colour, style etc and how to make a barbie doll look like Lady Gaga. I know how to make the actual cake, I just need ideas for it to resemble a Lady Gaga style
OH MY GOD! I love the idea. As a barbie collector and a lady gaga fan, I have to suggest you do this VMA lace outfit: http://i658.photobucket.com/albums/uu310…
It would be super easy, you just need to get food colouring spray paint (or regular food colouring paint), a length of red lace (red lace nylons or gloves would work well!) , and some red tissue paper. Cover her head and torso with the lace, except a small hole at the back where her hair can come out. Slide the doll into the cake, the pressure of the cake should hold the lace on her torso, but icing will work as a glue if not. Make a crown out of long thin pieces of tissue paper and regular scotch tape, then pin it or tape it to her head, off to the side. Use the rest of the lace, and lay it down flat on the skirt (i.e. the edible part) of the cake. Use your edible spray paint or edible paint, and spray it directly on the lace, when you remove the lace, the lace pattern will be there! If using a brush, stipple the colour on.
You could do the whole cake for under $20.00!!! If you really want to make it authentic, you can even curl your barbie's hair by wrapping it in pipe cleaners or around straws like you would with real hot curlers, and dip her head in boiling water for 3-5 seconds, then put her hair in ice water and remove the pipe cleaners or straws. Ta-da! Perfect curls in the back!
