Cake making sequence

To make this cake, the method of folding diapers with tubes is used. An alternative method is fan laying.
1. From a cardboard we cut out a big circle for a support under a cake.
2. If the product is planned with 2 or 3 tiers, then it is better to prepare two cardboard mugs and fold them, sending stiffeners at an angle of 90 degrees.
3. Next, put the circles in the center of the foil sheet and wrap the edges to the center.
The edges of the sheet are fixed with tape and cut off the excess.
Glue a paper towel for cakes on the front of the stand with double-sided tape.
The stand is ready.
4. We turn the prepared diapers into rolls, starting from the elastic.
We fasten the tubes with pre-washed and dried stationery gum.
After all the diapers are folded, we proceed to the formation of tiers.
5. The upper tier consists of 8-10 tubes.
To fix the tubes using an elastic band.
6. For the second tier, 14-18 tubes are required. Inside, you can put diapers folded in half.
7. The third tier is made up of the remaining tubes. Then you need to evaluate the proportions of the cake and collect the rows on the stand.
8. Next, each tier must be decorated with satin ribbons. We wrap the tape around the tubes and measure out the required segment.
We fasten the ends with a glue gun and we get a ring from the tape.
We dress ribbons on tiers and mask stationery gum.
Acting similarly, we decorate the tiers with paper ribbons.
9. The small soft toy needs to be fixed at the very top of the cake. We tie it with a thin white ribbon.
Next, we pass the ends of the ribbon down under the wide satin ribbons and tie them under the lower tier.
Align the position of the toy.
