Sewing these cakes was so much fun! At first, it was the 8 slice cake. Then I chose to make a 12 slice cake. My 6-year-old nephew watched me while sewing; he immediately noted: the boxes should be smaller, to fit and make a complete circle, right, Geta?
He borrowed my templates and made his own pieces, out of paper. Then he asked me to stitch his paper boxes by machine. Which I did (you already know, I love sewing paper or sewing through paper).
This is such a quick technique if you want to test the size or shape of your boxes (and you don’t waste fabric and interfacing, if you are not happy with the result).
Then the next version was the 6 slice cake. The boxes are more spacious than the other ones.
The Kaleidoscope effect looks even more beautiful in this Christmas fabric.
You could sew only a few slices, but the whole cake is quite spectacular!
If you want to add specific gifts to specific guests, just add their names on some gift tags (you could put them even inside the boxes- it makes choosing the box a fun game!).
If you want to sew your own cakes, the pattern is available here.
Happy sewing,
