Cool Homemade Gift Box Birthday Cake

My daughter had a small turquoise ring box on her dresser that I decided to copy for her Gift Box Birthday Cake.

I used square tinfoil cake pans and made two cake mixes, one strawberry and the other yellow. I used canned vanilla frosting between the layers and as a crumb coat. I made marshmallow fondant and colored it turquoise for the outside.

I left the fondant white for the ribbon; I just copied the loops for the bow, there wasn’t any need to let them dry first.

  1. Hello! I love your beautiful cake. I’m new to fondant and have been looking for a simple present cake recipe to make for birthdays coming up. I’m a little shady on how to make the bows though?? Also did you make your own fondant or buy some? I dont know which is best.

  2. Visions appear of colorful balloons,
    In the background, I hear those fine tunes.
    Near the end of the dream, I can taste a delicious cake,
    I must be your birthday, as I awake
