Using your card stock as a guide, cut your A5 sheet of paper down a little – so that when it is inside the card you have a nice frame!
Think about your cake toppers – will they be candles or a little bride and groom. Keep it simple, the result will look great and you don’t have to be an artist to create details.
When you have your toppers, line them up with your folded paper and roughly measure out the top of cake and the bottom of the cake.
Divide this cake space into three equal parts along the
spine.
The bottom rung of the cake should be approximately half the
length of the card (in this case 5cm).
Make 4 cuts: 2 long cuts (approx. 5cm) one medium cut (approx. 3.5cm) and one small cut (approx. 2cm). Make a crease along these cuts.
Fold open the paper and “reverse the crease”.
Glue your paper into your cardstock. One side at a time and
press down to secure.
Your basic pop up cake is FINISHED! It is now time to decorate to your hearts content.
