DIY Cakeplatter

It's my daughter's birthday today so we decided to bake her a spongebob squarepants cake, we bought some cake mix and a cake-pan and went to work and baked the cake.

This could be used for any cake, it would be extra nice as part of a season gift-cake for the christmas season. You could do a christmas tree shaped base for a christmas tree shaped cake :)

we let it cool a little and realised that we didn't have a platter to ice the cake on, so I went to work on making one.


items needed:

> cardboard at apropriate size
> scissors (or knife) to cut cardboard
> aluminium foil (aluminum foil will work too)
> tape to secure foil
> a cake to ice (it would be pointless without one)

Preparing the Cardboard

First thing we do is cut the card to the right size for the cake to fit on.

Wrap Foil Around Cardboard

Here we wrap the foil around the cardboard and secure with tape.

Add Cake and Ice It!
