Each of us loves to receive gifts. But it is much more pleasant to give them and see surprise and admiration in the eyes of the recipient. It is these emotions that will be evoked by a paper cake with wishes, inside which you can put pleasant little things and memorable gifts. Such a gift will definitely be remembered for a long time.

What matters is what's inside

Paper cake is a very original and versatile gift. It can be timed to coincide with any event, such as a birthday, wedding or christening. And to receive such a gift will be pleasant for both a woman and a man. The main thing is to choose the right wishes for a paper cake. So, you can write tender words and declarations of love to your loved one. A friend will appreciate a good joke, and various tasks found in the notes will be appropriate at the corporate party.

All wishes must be selected individually, and these ideas will help you decide on the general concept:

"Great vacation." As an addition, you can put money or a seashell in the box.
"Sweet and carefree life." It would be appropriate to put confetti, a lollipop or a small kinder surprise here.
"Permanent immunity". Complemented with a surprise in the form of a pack of ascorbic acid or pharmacy hematogen.
"Home comfort and warmth." Inside you can put a box of matches or a candle.
"Have a good mood". Cut out a lot of emoticons from multi-colored paper, they will certainly cause a smile.
"Bright and colorful days." Colored pencils, felt-tip pens or markers would be quite appropriate here.
"Faithful and devoted friends." You can make a small collage of shared photos or put a nice surprise in the box that only you and your friend will understand.
"Fantastic Luck" This wish harmonizes well with playing dice or a small souvenir horseshoe.
"Fulfillment of dreams". Think about what the recipient dreams of most. Perhaps this is a trip to some country in the world. Then you can invest a small souvenir attraction. And if this is buying a car, then a toy copy of the car will be a good addition.
"Eternal beauty and youth." Fill the space of the cake slice with nice beauty products like face cream or new lipstick.
"Cheerfulness of the Spirit". Coffee beans or tea bag depending on the preferences of the recipient, the whole meaning of this wish will be perfectly emphasized.

In this spirit, you can continue indefinitely, the main thing is to connect your entire supply of imagination and creativity.

Original gift cake recipe

A do-it-yourself paper cake with wishes is a simple and quick gift. No need to come up with something special or look for the necessary materials for a long time. All you need to bring this idea to life is colored cardboard, a few decorative elements and about an hour of free time.

Necessary materials:

thick colored cardboard;
scissors;
glue;
scotch;
ruler;
finishing paper;
glitter cardboard;
beads.

Process description:

Then we cut out a blank from thick cardboard along it. Carefully use a ruler to give the cardboard the desired shape and bends.
Lubricate all intermediate lines with glue and firmly press the parts to each other.
For reliability, the bottom of the box can be fixed with a thin strip of adhesive tape.

We fill in each field in accordance with the chosen topic and twist the blanks with a tube.
We attach a note to a small gift. For example, wishes for a sweet life would be appropriate with confetti, marmalade or a chocolate bar.

Then we cut out a circle of arbitrary diameter from cardboard with glitter and cut it in the shape of a spiral. With the help of superglue we form a flower from a spiral.

We repeat these steps the required number of times, and then we collect all the boxes in the form of a cake.

I have an idea!

As you already understood, the basis of any paper cake is a template. It is not difficult to find and print a blank, in extreme cases it can always be drawn by hand. And if there is absolutely no time to decorate a gift, a sketch of each piece can be immediately printed on white cardboard, of course, when there is a color printer in use.

I made two such cakes, one as an advent calendar for children.

Second for a wedding for our friends.

And now the MC itself:

MK: CAKE SURPRISE WITH WISHES

Such a cake can be presented on New Year. It can be made from 6, 10 or 12 parts. If the company is large, then the cake can be made multi-tiered.
In this master class, we will have a cake of 12 parts, if you need to make 6 or 10 parts, just change the angle in the pattern.

You can also make such a cake for a birthday or as a wedding gift.

We will need:
- cardboard, you can use paper for watercolor, you can make it from paper for printing, but then it will not be durable
- scissors
- glue
- a tool for folding cardboard (you can use any hard stick
- ribbons and other decorative elements

1. Make a pattern according to the attached template
2. Cut out, fold and glue the boxes. In order to bend the cardboard, draw a rigid stick along the fold line along the ruler. For gluing, you can use glue stick
3. Turn on your imagination and decorate the cake pieces as you wish. In this case, two types of decor pieces were made, which alternate in the cake.
4. Make a pallet. To do this, cut out a circle of thick paper (drawing paper) of a suitable diameter. We cut a strip for the sides, retreat from one edge by 1 cm (the height of the side), make cuts to glue to the base.
5. Put a surprise with wishes in each box.
sweet life (candy)
energy (batteries)
vivid impressions (colored pencils)
love (heart)
good health (vitamins)
heat (a piece of fur)
light (flashlight)
cheerfulness (coffee beans)
6. We pack the cake in transparent paper.

Now about how it turned out for me

For the first cake, I drew a box pattern with a pencil and a ruler on each sheet. And then I cut it out with scissors. I first ran along the fold lines with the same scissors (not with the cutting side), and then bent. For my cakes, I used watercolor paper. There is quite a good cardboard, white on both sides.

For the second cake, I was already too lazy to draw by hand and I decided to try running watercolor paper through our printer. He quite coped with the task. It turned out much faster.

For the feather cake, I made two tiers of 12 pieces and another tier of 6 pieces with lids. There was a different pattern. I drew it myself, drew on the ruler, measuring the desired dimensions.

I made the lids from colored cardboard, passing the edge through a special cutter.

Well, I made the last box round. Looks like now I can make any box))))

For decor, I used ribbons and a cutter with a flower. It takes about 7 meters of ribbon for a 12-piece cake to glue each piece in a circle

I put this cake on the top shelf and gave Andryusha a piece every day.

There was a letter for learning the alphabet. A toy wrapped in foil and a piece of cotton wool for the beard of our Santa Claus. Every day we glued a piece of cotton wool to Santa's beards.

And now for the wedding cake.

12 boxes were made in the same way as in the first cake. But then I decided to make a stand. My cake just fit in one of the lids. So I chose thicker cardboard, put this cover around with a pencil, and then cut it out with a knife.

Then I cut stripes from a sheet of A4 watercolor paper. bent in two for greater density.

Glued them into one long strip

And then glued to her circle. Cut off the excess. I stuck a pencil on the glue. He fit the best. The pieces themselves glued them together.

Wrapped around with ribbon.

I passed a hole in the middle and rolled the paper into a tube and inserted it into that hole. I glued the same to the base. To make a flower in the middle that would not fall when pulling out the pieces.

Outside wrapped in transparent paper and tied in a bow

And now for the surprises for this cake.

Small souvenirs and wishes for them.

Love is a wonderful gift of fate...

A handmade paper cake is one of the most pleasant birthday gifts for your beloved sweet friends, which you can make yourself if you show a little imagination.

Paper cake - beautiful and original!

I would like to note that the selection of material and gluing everything together turned out to be no less positive than the enthusiastic reaction of the birthday girl and guests at the holiday!) The reason may be different, but the desire to translate such beauty into reality did not arise. How it was, we will gladly tell you.

All we need:

cake box

A cake box bought in a well-known store in your city will keep the intrigue until the very opening of the gift. Because everyone, including the birthday boy, will be sure that in the box regular cake from the shop. When choosing a box, please note that the size of the usable area inside the base must be at least 200 * 200 mm. Otherwise, you will have to resize the layout as you see fit.

paper cake mockup

Calculating the layout is, of course, painstaking and not fast. But we have already made it and we are happy to share it with you. You need to print it on plain A4 paper. When printing, be sure to select "real size" or uncheck the box "Fit to Page" depending on which program you are printing from. This is necessary so that the proportions of the parts are correctly preserved.

We printed out the first sheet with the layout of the piece in two copies in order to practice gluing it together. We advise you to try it too. We got it like this:

Cut and collect

In the layout of parts on sheets of cardboard, instead of 10 pieces of pieces, we made 11 specifically in order to go shopping with this extra box and pick up flowers, ribbons and bows. We glue the boxes with PVA glue - in no case do not use the "Moment", because. its unpleasant smell will remain for a long time.

Decorating cake pieces

After walking through hobby markets and sewing shops with an “extra box” and having decided on the choice of flowers, satin ribbon and bows, you can start gluing the latter with a heat gun. We decided not to glue the flowers yet, but to leave this matter for the very end, so as not to stain them.

Tasks and ground preparation

Our paper cake The ic is almost ready, but we decided that just filling it with various delicious sweets would not be interesting enough. So the idea came up to turn this wonderful gift into a fun game and put leaflets with craft paper tasks in each piece. To do this, we drew 10 rectangles measuring 10 * 7 cm and wrote on them different tasks that relate to the hero of the occasion. Then the sheet was cut into separate rectangles and twisted into tubes. We got tasks for each of those present:

Tell a rhyme on a stool

Sing a birthday song

Shower the birthday girl with compliments

Dance with the birthday girl

Kiss the birthday girl

Express gratitude to the birthday girl

Confess love to the birthday girl

Spoon feed the birthday girl

Selfie under the table with the birthday girl

Fulfill the wish of the birthday girl

The base of the box from the store in our case was just gray-white, so chocolate cake looked nothing on him, and even more so there was no “Wow!” effect. when opening the box. Therefore, the base definitely needs to be pasted over with kraft paper on which the tasks were written. Then you can put the candies with the "scrolls" into boxes, but do not forget to put ten fresh coffee beans in each. Upon opening the cake, the noble smell of coffee will appear and add a romantic touch to the delight of the first impression.

Through experience, we learned that the cake stand should be slightly larger than originally planned. Due to the thickness of the paper, satin ribbon and sweets inside the boxes, the pieces become larger! This is already taken into account in the layout that you downloaded from our website)

Sometimes giving gifts is much more pleasant than receiving, especially if you make a gift with your own hands.

Cake for a birthday - quite banal, but cake from paper with surprises in every piece - interesting, creative and unusual.
Today we will look at how to make one yourself. cake for a man's 25th birthday.

We will need:
12 sheets of cardboard (in this case, white cardboard is used in a slightly smaller than A4 format);
Glue gun (you can use both regular PVA glue and Moment Crystal glue);
Scissors;
Beautiful cardboard for labels;
Any decorative elements that you find at home or in a store (satin ribbons, buttons, beads, you can cut out an ornament or figures from paper using a figured hole punch). I will be using blue and green colored holographic paper and sequins;
As filling there will be small surprises (ascorbic acid, coffee, dollars, chocolate, candle, tea bag, balloon, battery, towel, keychain, shampoo, postcard).

Manufacturing process:
1. On cardboard or thick paper, print out a pattern of pieces. If there is no printer, then you can draw the pieces along the ruler. Depending on the size of the paper, the diameter of the cake may vary slightly. It can be made a little more or a little less.

2. Cut out the blanks along the contour. You should get 12 pieces. On the side cover of the box, we mark it with a sharp clerical knife, make a cut.

3. Draw along the fold lines with the blunt side of the knife or with a pen. Then, after assembly, the edges of the pieces will be clear and even.
4. We collect the pieces, glue them together. It is necessary to glue the very corner of the box and the longest edge. We leave the end open. Boxes will turn out

5. Let's start decorating. There are many options for decorating such boxes. Since I am making this cake for a man, I will only make an inscription and sequins.
6. We print cards for surprises on the printer and put everything into boxes. If there is no printer, you can write by hand, there is nothing wrong with that.
