Coolest Gift Box Cake 19

Gift Box Cake
I made this gift box cake for a friend's wedding shower. It is made from regular Duncan Hines Butter recipe cake mixes which I baked in three 9-inch square pans (making it a triple layer cake). I then frosted with homemade buttercream frosting.
I colored 1 box of prepared fondant brown using Wilton icing gel colors - it takes a lot of brown to turn white fondant a pretty dark chocolate color. I made the loops for the bow a day in advance which is a must unless you want them to droop after an hour. I used a combination of 3 Wilton icing colors to turn 2 boxes of white fondant the sage green color. This was very tricky, the colors were ivory, teal and Kelly green. Tip: try mixing your colors into a cornstarch paste first to get the color combination right. I then rolled the fondant in a large square to cover the entire cake, trimmed the excess and assembled the bow using water to help the loops stick.
It was a big hit!
