Bridal Shower Towel Cake

Hi,

Crafts are really not my thing, but I want to make my best friend a towel cake for her shower. I have all the equipment and rolled and pinned the towels but I can't figure out how to get the layers to stay on top of each other. I've tried pins but it really isn't working. Anyone ever make one of these or have any ideas for me.

Thanks!

Re: Bridal Shower Towel Cake

All the directions I could find said to pin securely so maybe a ton of safety pins would do the trick?

I don't know where you would get this, but a small round base with a pedastal would probably make this easy. Maybe there's something in the bakery section of Micheals/ACMoores.

Re: Bridal Shower Towel Cake

put a small platform between each layer. A nice sucggestion would be a pizza pan or a round light weight platter of some sort. This way your layers are seperate and you can put in stuff she would need or could use

Re: Bridal Shower Towel Cake

i used small wooden dowels to hold the layers together. you stick them into the bottom layer and then just slide the other layers on top. I think I also used some pins for a little extra stability. i didn't make the kind where you stuff things in between the layers. a lot of people thought it was a real cake. here's a pic of one of the ones i made

Re: Bridal Shower Towel Cake

That looks great!!! I used some wooden dowels and it seems to have done the trick. I'll just have to ask everyone not to touch it and stay a safe distance away!!! HA!!!

Thanks for all your help!
