Towel Cakes – A Great Gift You Can Make For Any Occasion

[ad_1]

Towel cakes are a unique, wildly popular gift you can make yourself. Most people who are already familiar with them have probably seen them given as a bridal shower gift or centerpiece or a baby shower gift when the “towels” are substituted with rolled diapers.

The basic cake can be customized in thousands of ways for many different occasions. It makes a perfect and practical gift for holidays, housewarmings, birthdays, anniversaries, Mother’s Day and many more.

They are inedible and made of rolled or folded towels of different sizes, constructed and decorated to look like a cake. The decorations can be flowers, beads or practical items like bath or spa supplies.

They are inexpensive and you don’t need any special skills or tools to make one. The “ingredients” for a basic three-tier cake can cost under $25 and it can be assembled in about an hour. If you want to spend more, that’s OK too. It’s a great gift to give from a group of people and you can share the cost!

Ideas to customize your cake to suit many different occasions…

Bridal Shower – Use white towels, ribbon and flowers. If possible, customize the colors to match the wedding colors. Top with a bride/groom cake topper, bells or cascading pearls or flowers down the side of the cake.

Birthday – Use the birthday boy or girl’s favorite colors, treats and small toys to decorate the cake for their special day. Better yet, use towels with their favorite TV, movie or music stars and coordinate decorations to match.

Fourth of July – Use red, white and blue towels, stars and stripes-themed ribbon and glowsticks for decorations.

Housewarming – Coordinate the towel colors to match the new homeowners bathroom. Decorate with practical small kitchen or garden tools…or bath and spa products.

Baby Shower – Substitute towels with rolled diapers and wrap a baby blanket around the outside. Coordinate colors (pink, blue, yellow or green) to match the sex, if known and decorate with baby supplies.

Mothers Day– Mom will like just about any color you use!…Add bath and spa products and/or chocolate as decorations…anything Mom likes.

Thanksgiving – Use fall colors for towels. Decorate with pumpkin and leaf picks from your local craft store.

Your imagination is the only limit to how a towel cake can be customized and what occasion it can be used for. A little creativity will go a long way and the person receiving it is sure to love it.
