bamboo skewer

Gift presentation tips:
I am utilizing some 4-lb treat containers bought at Walmart, as well as some Wilton 10″ Cake Circles trimmed down with scissors to in shape the bottom of the containers.
Turn out the cake onto the cake circles:
Wrap cake securely in plastic wrap. I have cut a 1 1/2 yd length of 6″ large tulle as well as draped it over the container, then set the wrapped cake down on top of the tulle, as well as connected a bow over the cake. It can be quickly lifted from the container for cutting as well as serving. This tulle in the 6″ width can be bought anywhere you discover wedding event cake supplies, such as Joann’s as well as Michaels, in a range of colors.
The cake that you see in these photos has been contributed to the Antelope Valley healthcare facility Volunteers holiday Bake Sale.
