How to make a paper cake with wishes with your own hands:
So, let's start making a gift: first, a template. It is easy to make it: short sides are 5 cm each, long sides are 10 cm each. The larger the short side, the fewer “pieces of cake” you get. From the above calculation, 13 pieces of paper cake are obtained. To make a template and make the right angles between the lines, follow one rule: visually and intuitively place the ruler perpendicular to the resulting edges.
An easy option is to simply print out the included template sheet. A template will get the job done faster. 
We cut out the template, circle it on each sheet of colored paper, draw fold lines under the ruler. We also make folds under the ruler so that the boxes turn out beautiful. Just bend the sheet along the line, attaching a ruler to it. Now it remains only to glue the edges - we connect the sharpest corner (it faces the middle of the cake), then the side.
Now we put inside a note with a wish and a gift. We close a piece of paper cake - insert the tongue into the slot (if they are made of cardboard). An ordinary colored paper bonbonniere can be sealed with PVA glue, since the paper is soft and the “locks” will not hold.
Now decoration: from ribbon, lace, you can easily make small bows. Beads, rhinestones, buttons, sequins, sequins are suitable for jewelry - all this is glued with PVA glue. Pieces of the "cake" are folded and tied with a ribbon. You can insert a candle in the center. All do-it-yourself paper cake is ready. it remains to fill it with wishes and hand it to the addressee.
Such a gift will be relevant even by March 8, even for a birthday, even for Valentine's Day. Just a few hours of time will help to give a card with wishes, a few gifts and the aesthetic pleasure of revealing each surprise at once!
Happy creativity! I am sure you will get a beautiful paper cake with tempting wishes and interesting gifts.
I made two such cakes, one as an advent calendar for children.
Second for a wedding for our friends.
And now the MC itself:
MK: CAKE SURPRISE WITH WISHES
Such a cake can be presented on New Year. It can be made from 6, 10 or 12 parts. If the company is large, then the cake can be made multi-tiered.
In this master class, we will have a cake of 12 parts, if you need to make 6 or 10 parts, just change the angle in the pattern.
You can also make such a cake for a birthday or as a wedding gift.
We will need:
- cardboard, you can use paper for watercolor, you can make it from paper for printing, but then it will not be durable
- scissors
- glue
- a tool for folding cardboard (you can use any hard stick
- ribbons and other decorative elements
1. Make a pattern according to the attached template
2. Cut out, fold and glue the boxes. In order to bend the cardboard, draw a rigid stick along the fold line along the ruler. For gluing, you can use glue stick
3. Turn on your imagination and decorate the cake pieces as you wish. In this case, two types of decor pieces were made, which alternate in the cake.
4. Make a pallet. To do this, cut out a circle of thick paper (drawing paper) of a suitable diameter. We cut a strip for the sides, retreat from one edge by 1 cm (the height of the side), make cuts to glue to the base.
5. Put a surprise with wishes in each box.
sweet life (candy)
energy (batteries)
vivid impressions (colored pencils)
love (heart)
good health (vitamins)
heat (a piece of fur)
light (flashlight)
cheerfulness (coffee beans)
6. We pack the cake in transparent paper.
Now about how it turned out for me
For the first cake, I drew a box pattern with a pencil and a ruler on each sheet. And then I cut it out with scissors. I first ran along the fold lines with the same scissors (not with the cutting side), and then bent. For my cakes, I used watercolor paper. There is quite a good cardboard, white on both sides.
For the second cake, I was already too lazy to draw by hand and I decided to try running watercolor paper through our printer. He quite coped with the task. It turned out much faster.
For the feather cake, I made two tiers of 12 pieces and another tier of 6 pieces with lids. There was a different pattern. I drew it myself, drew on the ruler, measuring the desired dimensions.
I made the lids from colored cardboard, passing the edge through a special cutter. 
Well, I made the last box round. Looks like now I can make any box))))
For decor, I used ribbons and a cutter with a flower. It takes about 7 meters of ribbon for a 12-piece cake to glue each piece in a circle 
I put this cake on the top shelf and gave Andryusha a piece every day.
There was a letter for learning the alphabet. A toy wrapped in foil and a piece of cotton wool for the beard of our Santa Claus. Every day we glued a piece of cotton wool to Santa's beards.
And now for the wedding cake.
12 boxes were made in the same way as in the first cake. But then I decided to make a stand. My cake just fit in one of the lids. So I chose thicker cardboard, put this cover around with a pencil, and then cut it out with a knife.
Then I cut stripes from a sheet of A4 watercolor paper. bent in two for greater density. 
Glued them into one long strip
And then glued to her circle. Cut off the excess. I stuck a pencil on the glue. He fit the best. The pieces themselves glued them together.
Wrapped around with ribbon.
I passed a hole in the middle and rolled the paper into a tube and inserted it into that hole. I glued the same to the base. To make a flower in the middle that would not fall when pulling out the pieces.
Outside wrapped in transparent paper and tied in a bow 
And now for the surprises for this cake.
Small souvenirs and wishes for them.
1. Big and pure love
Love is a wonderful gift of fate...
Dreams come true with her!
Always keep her in your hearts!
Live in love and joy!

Necessary materials:
- thick colored cardboard;
- scissors;
- glue;
- Scotch;
- ruler;
- finishing paper;
- glitter cardboard;
- beads.
Process description:
- Then we cut out a blank from thick cardboard along it. Carefully use a ruler to give the cardboard the desired shape and bends.

- For reliability, the bottom of the box can be fixed with a thin strip of adhesive tape.
- We fill in each field in accordance with the chosen topic and twist the blanks with a tube.

- We repeat these steps the required number of times, and then we collect all the boxes in the form of a cake.
I have an idea!
As you already understood, the basis of any paper cake is a template. It is not difficult to find and print a blank, in extreme cases it can always be drawn by hand. And if there is absolutely no time to decorate a gift, a sketch of each piece can be immediately printed on white cardboard, of course, when a color printer is in use.
Today, at the thought of a cake, not only sweet teeth rejoice, but also lovers of original surprises. After all, paper cakes are becoming more and more popular. In order to “bake” such a gift with your own hands, you don’t have to wait long for the right occasion - he will find you: birthday, wedding, March 8, February 14 or 23, or maybe the anniversary of the first kiss? Today we will tell you how to make a cardboard cake yourself and how to decorate it.
"Baking" is easy
Our paper cake will consist of separate cardboard boxes that look like pieces of a real cake. If you plan to serve such a surprise at a theme party to entertain guests, calculate the number of boxes in advance. The most popular is the 12-piece paper cake option. But if you wish and have free time, your cooking masterpiece may well turn into a two- or even three-tiered paper cake.
To create the basis for future pieces, you will need colored or white paper, PVA glue or double-sided tape, scissors, a ruler and a pencil. The paper should be thick enough - not thinner than a landscape sheet, in order to keep its shape well. We print the finished template (the photo on the right is enlarged) on the printer, cut it out and circle it on each sheet of paper. Decide whether all the pieces will be the same color or will become different.
We fold the workpiece along the dotted lines. Use a ruler for this - then the folds will turn out even. Now we glue the edges with the help of double-sided tape: for this, first we connect the acute angle, then the side one. We have a pyramid, which opens one branch. By the same principle, we glue the rest of the blanks. You can put a paper cake on a tray or make a do-it-yourself cardboard base for it.
decor ideas
The most responsible and pleasant moment is decorating the cake. We must turn scattered paper boxes into small gifts with our own hands. For this, everything will be used - beads, figurines, sequins, serpentine, paper flowers and ribbons. For decoration wedding cake beads imitating pearls will come in handy - they will give the gift a solemn and elegant look. You can also decorate the cake with flowers made from sweets and corrugated paper, made by yourself. Another interesting idea is decorating with quilling patterns.
We tie each piece with a braid, it will not allow the gift to fall out of the box. We make small bows from lace, glue them with PVA glue. You can insert a candle into the center of the cake. The frame for the cake is ready - it remains to fill it with gifts. 
Wishes with a twist
Now about the "stuffing": you can fill the boxes with the simplest items and provide them with original wishes.
- For a romantic gift to your loved one, pour a few coffee beans into the bag and attach the inscription: “I promise to wake you up with the smell of coffee in the morning.”
- And if you want to hint at the passionate component of your life, put a condom in another box and write: “I wish you sleepless nights and strength to spend them.”
- You can add a wish for vivid impressions and a sweet life to a chocolate bar or multi-colored dragees.
- We will decorate the magnets in the form of emoticons with the inscription "I wish you smiles and positive."
We wish travelers new exciting adventures and put a bottle of multi-colored sand or several shells into the box. - We apply coins and real banknotes to the treasure wish.
- A toy car can become a symbol of a luxurious and rich life - do not forget to wish it too.
- A small candle will add home comfort and warmth - such a wish will become universal and will suit both your soulmate and the newlyweds to whom you are invited to the wedding.
Batteries can symbolize a wish for endless energy, a package of vitamin C for good health, a horseshoe for incredible good luck. The number of boxes with wishes and their content is limited only by your imagination.
