I started this wedding cake gift idea out of an idea I had seen on Pinterest but it ended up being quite different. This gift was made for one of my dear friends, Vanessa, for her bridal shower. I started out with a table linen set, including: a table runner, napkins, napkin ring holders, place mats, and serving dishes. The couple is having a fall wedding so I found some pretty autumn colored items to use at Pier One.
The base of the cakes sits on a platter and I used a large piece
of serving ware for the main layer of the cake.
I folded the place mats length ways and wrapped them around for the base layer of the cake. I tied a ribbon around to hold them in place. If the linens do not not match up, you may have to experiment folding them different ways to get the desired look for your cake.
Top the base with a smaller plate and serving dish to begin your next layer of the cake. I used a table runner folded several times to wrap around the bowl as my second layer.
For the top layer of the wedding cake I used a serving dish and a large mug
filled with the napkins and napkin ring holders. You can be creative and top the cake with utensils, or other fun kitchen items.
My finished wedding cake gift was garnished with a flower
around the ribbon and a few personal embellishments for the couple.
