This will cost you a few dollars and an hour or so of your time. It will draw raves from the bride to be and all of the shower attendees.

Steps

  1. Take note of the Things You'll Need, as shown below.
  2. Lay the bath towels out with ends slightly overlapped . Pin towels together and fold to a six inch width. Roll towels into a tight coil. You can roll the towels around an empty paper towel tube to add some stability. Fold the end of each coil under and pin closed. Ribbons can hide pins.
  3. Repeat step 1 with the hand towels (other directions use 2 hand towels, but 3 makes a more realistic looking layer.)
  4. Repeat step one with the wash cloths.
  5. Spray a pizza pan white to use as a base for this cake but you can use a cake stand if you prefer.
  6. The next step is to decorate the cake. Here is where the fun begins. Give your imagination free rein.
  7. Arrange the flowers around the bottom of each layer. Take one or two flowers apart and spread them over the cake.
  8. Then attach the pearls and use them to create a scalloped look from the top of each layer. Take a tiny stitch to anchor the top of each loop. Narrow lace can be used here. Attach a wedding ring to the center of each loop.
  9. How should you top your towel cake creation? A traditional bride and groom, gloves, a bell or you can get creative. A single large flower or a mound of smaller ones also work well. A hand towel fan with pearls attached looks wonderful. A large bath puff looks great here. Dangle strings of pearls from the puff.
  10. If the bride has chosen a rectangular cake you can still use this cake or you can wrap cardboard boxes or foam blocks like gift boxes then stack and decorate.
  11. Striped towels when rolled will give the appearance of horizontal striped icing, which is unique.
  12. use kitchen linen cakes for housewarming gifts but have also made them for showers.
  13. You may be surprised to find your friends or the shower guests asking you to make one of these exquisite shower cakes for a party they are attending or asking for the instructions how to make wedding shower towel cake.
