Learn how to make a gift anyone would love: a cake made of money! Perfect for graduation, birthdays, or any special occasion.
Ingredients
For The Cake
- 3 Floral Foam Discs 4 inch, 6 inch, 8 inch
- 115 Dollar Bills approximately
- Double Sided Tape
- Small Clear Rubber Bands
- 3 Bamboo Skewers
- 3 yards 7/8 inch ribbon
- 3 yards 3/8 inch ribbon
For a Grad Hat Topper
- 1 piece Black Cardstock 12x12 inches
- 1 metal Brad
- Embroidery Floss
Instructions
- Use a pencil to roll up each dollar bill and secure it with a clear rubber band.
- Stack the floral foam discs on top of each other and secure together by pushing three skewers down through all layers. Break off any skewer that sticks out the top.
- Run two rows of double sided tape around the top tier and start placing rolled bills against the tape.
- Cut these lengths from both ribbons: 20 inches, 26 inches, 34 inches. Adhere the narrow ribbon on top of the wider ribbon for each length.
- Continue until bills completely surround the floral foam disc. Wrap a piece of ribbon around the bills, pull it somewhat tight, and tape it together in the back.
- Repeat with the remaining two layers.
- Decorate as desired. If you'd like to make a grad cap, cut a 3x12 inch rectangle of black cardstock and form it into a circle. Secure with hot glue. Glue it onto a 5x5 square of cardstock. Use a brad to attach a tassel made from embroidery floss.
- Glue on stickers or any other decorations as desired.
