Oh no...its way too big...

I just realized that when I published the post the picture was WAY to big to be able to see it all...I'll try to resize...

My Paper Crafting "Crowning Achievement!"

Okay, so some of you may see this tomorrow at Kyle's little birthday party, but for those of you who live away, I just had to show this off. There are going to be quite a few people at Kyle's little birthday BBQ, and I was stressing about what to do for a cake. I definitely could not justify buying one when I knew I could make one, but with all the people who are going to be here, just one sheet cake wouldn't have been enough. So I was stressing. This is what I finally came up with, and I am totally pumped!!

It's a paper cake!! All the kids (and some of the adults!) will be able to take a "slice" home with them as a party favor! Each slice is filled with candy and a little toy.

So I honestly can't take credit for coming up with the idea, but I've always seen it done as a wedding shower or baby shower cake. My Cricut die cutter machine did all the hard work for me of cutting the boxes out of paper, and then I just had to stamp them up and fold and glue. I can take credit for the "bow" on top. The idea just came to me and I went with it!

Back to the cake dilemma...I made cupcakes!

Anywho, its been forever since I've posted, but this turned out too cool not to share!
