Ivory Gift Packages Cake

If you've ever been to the bakery, you've seen our show cake that looks like a bunch of gift packages. It's a stunning cake - very elegant and sophisticated! It would be perfect for so many occasions - a holiday party, wedding, anniversary party, etc. It's huge and really makes a statement.

Well, a couple of weeks ago, a bride specifically requested that we replicate that show cake for her wedding.

It took a full day just to decorate this beast, and two full-grown men to carry it into the reception hall.

This cake is great if you need an idea for how to decorate a gift box cake. Each box was decorated in a different manner and 5 different bow styles!

This was an 8-inch round cake sitting on top of a 10-inch square cake...which was sitting on a 12-inch square cake...which was sitting on a large rectangular cake...phew! Also notice bow #1 with wide bow loops.

And here, you have a 6-inch round cake with bow #2 (extremely thin bow loops) on a 8-inch square cake with bow #3. The square cake is actually twice as tall as a normal cake!

I love this little pouch. There's a cupcake hidden inside!
