Sweet Wedding Cake Centerpiece

Make a wedding cake that will last forever. Use our step-by-step instructions to craft a delicious-looking centerpiece.

Centerpiece Instructions

Materials
  • Tins in 6-, 8-, and 10-inch diameters
  • Patterned paper in coordinating colors
  • Pencil
  • Paper cutter
  • White die-cut floral paper
  • Hot-glue gun and glue sticks
  • 2 yards of 2-inch-wide sheer ribbon
  • Daisy punch
  • Glitter paper in two colors to coordinate with patterned paper
  • Large and small adhesive gems

Instructions
  1. Remove lids from tins. Using the tins as patterns, cut paper to wrap around the sides of the tins; hot-glue the paper in place. Cut a paper strip to wrap around the 10-inch tin lid; hot-glue in place. Carefully put the lid on the large tin.
  2. From the center of the die-cut floral paper, cut a circle to fit the bottom of the 6-inch tin. Cut a ring 1-1/2-inch larger than the cut circle for the 8-inch tin. Cut a second ring 1-1/2-inch larger than the first ring for the 10-inch tin. Hot-glue the circle and rings to the tins' bottoms.
  3. Hot-glue the tiers together.
  4. Fold the ribbon in half; tie a double bow. Hot-glue the bow to the top tier. Trim the ribbon ends.
  5. Punch out daisies from glitter papers. Press a large gem in the center of each daisy; layer with smaller gems where desired. Hot-glue daisies cascading down the tiers as shown.

Very cute. Was wondering if anyone could tell me where to get paper that is long enought to go all the way around the tins. Would love to use the idea at a wedding shower. Lovely.
