Two Wmns

You may want to choose towels that match or compliment the brideÂ’s wedding colors or even better to choose a color that will go well with the coupleÂ’s new bath.

“Ingredients” for the towel cake

2 bath towels

3 hand towels

2 washcloths

a cake board (cake stand pan or pizza pan)

safety pins

narrow ribbon, elastic or rubber bands

real or silk flowers

tiny string pearls or narrow lace

small wedding rings

cake topper

empty paper towel rolls (optional)

Step 1: 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.

Step 2: Repeat step 1 with the hand towels (other directions use 2 hand towels, but 3 makes a more realistic looking layer.)

Step 3: Repeat step one with the wash cloths.

I spray a pizza pan white to use as a base for this cake but you can use a cake stand if you prefer.

Next you have to decorate the cake and here is where the fun begins. Give your imagination free rein.

Arrange the flowers around the bottom of each layer. I use silk flowers because they don‘t wilt but real ones can look lovely. Take one or two flowers apart and spread them over the cake.

I then attach the pearls and use them to create a scalloped look from the top of each layer. I 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.

How should you top your towel cake creation? I have seen these cakes with the traditional bride and groom. cloves or a bell or you can get creative. A single large flower or a mound of smaller ones A hand towel fan with pearls attached looks wonderful. A large bath puff looks great here. I dangle strings of pearls from the puff.

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.

Striped towels when rolled will give the appearance of horizontal striped icing, which is unique.

We have made kitchen towel cakes using place mats, kitchen towels and dish cloths. napkins. I use placemats for the base, then the towels and lastly dish rags. With this kitchen cake a paper towel roll or wooden dowel will be needed to stabilize the cake.

Normally I use kitchen linen cakes for housewarming gifts but have also made them for showers.

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.
