Housewarming Towel Cake Instructions

Instructions for housewarming cake:

Start with 8-inch cake board or cake plate. You will need nine kitchen hand towels and about 8 dishcloths, one potholder. See basic template set up Here


This was my first Kitchen Towel cake I ever made back in 1999.. Enjoy:)

You will need two hand towels for each layer; this will be a two layer. Starting with bottom layer make template…you can either roll the other remaining hand towels for bottom layer, or use method of lining inside of bottom layer with the hand towels.

If you roll them… make sure they are the same height as the bottom layer so your cake will be even on top. If you use the towels for lining the inside make sure your cake is nice and tight, you may have to add shred or tissue in middle to get tightness. Take your potholder and insert top of potholder i.e.; like bib into the front of cake secure with chip clips.

Make top layer template; bring in the one end about 3 or 4 inches so you have enough room on bottom layer to put kitchen gadgets around bottom layer. Fold dishcloths so when standing they are same height as top layer. Roll dishcloths and insert inside of top layer. You can at this point leave a small hole in center or towards back so you can put long objects such as tongs, wooden spoon, or a box of noodles etc.

With the last washcloth you can fold it like a fan…secure with rubber band and put in middle or in back of top layer. Use kitchen gadgets that will fit nicely in the cake.

Items used to make the cake are:
Poster broad or you may use card stock if you can find pieces large enough
Fabric
Lace
White rosebuds
Pink paint
Chalked ink (pink) to stamp on lace flowers.
Hand sewn lace flowers ( either purchase them on Ebay, or make them.I made mine and it's simple.You can find instructions on Youtube.
Diapers -size one "luvs"
Mixed color of shred to match theme.
Double sided tape
Hot glue

To construct your cake, you'll need to cut three and a half strips of poster broad.
Bottom layer - takes one and a half lengthwise and 5 1/2 inches in height.

Second layer-takes one strip and you want to make this one 5 inches in height and about 6 inches round ( you may cut some off) Just hold the ring over bottom layer and eyeball where to cut off excess.You just want to make sure the second layer will not overlap bottom layer.( Think cake when eyeballing it:)

Third layer- takes about a little over a half of the strip and should be 4 1/2 inches in height and about 5 inches in roundness.It's always best to cut a little over than be short, then just eyeball how far to take in end of strip to make sure the layer does not overlap the second layer.

Next take your fabric and measure out enough fabric to cover strips, but leave an inch or so bare on one end of each strip.Next wrap and secure fabric on the inside of strips with double sided tape ( no one is going to see the inside) You may iron the fabric too. Check once again where you'll secure both ends together to form a ring, or layer. Take a strip of double sides tape and put on end of poster broad, insert that end into the other side where the fabric is and hold a few seconds till secure.

Embellish them now with your flowers, strips of lace or whatever you choose, let dry good.Next you'll add diapers. Make sure you pack the diapers in tight so there is no room to move ( Very important). Complete all three layer. Stack them and add shred, and your done!You may also want to position your bottom layer on a cake plate before adding the other layers!Most of all have fun and create!
