How to make cake ingredients
If you decide to use a round shape, then triangular pieces would be the ideal option. Before starting work, you must first take detailed measurements of all elements. If you don’t have time for that, you can take ready-made patterns from the Internet, print them out and start assembling.
The type of connection depends on the material used. If it is paper, you can get by with a glue stick, but if you are using cardboard, then you will most likely need a glue stick, because the glue stick will not be able to reliably hold its corners together.

A children's craft cake does not have to be large. However, it all depends on what exactly the parents decided to hide inside their structure.
If you want to hide a large toy there, then the cake should be the appropriate size. But you can do something even more interesting by using the same big toy.
Make a small cake from several small pieces, inside of which there will be tasks. By completing them, the child will go through a kind of quest, which will ultimately lead him to the main gift.
For square structures, it will not be possible to use triangular pieces, but you can use pieces in the form of cones, placing them on top of each other.
Particular attention should be paid to the tape that will hold these pieces together into a single structure; it should be tightly tightened around. The back, widest part of the pieces should not be glued, but carefully closed inward so that it is possible to open them and take out the contents.

What will you need for a candy cake for children:
- Candies - kinder chocolate, mini Snickers, Twix, Nesquik, Barney (any favorite children's sweets);

- Corrugated paper in pink (for girls) or blue (for boys);
- Multi-colored ribbons for tying tiers;
- Scissors.
Let's get started with our own hands:
- First we make the bottom base. It must be big. Therefore, we will use foam material for it;
- Cut out a round shape from polystyrene foam. It is worth noting that the width of the tier should correspond to the height of the candies. If you need to be able to place Kinder chocolate candies on them later, then you should cut out two circles and glue them together using hot glue;
- Then we start decorating the tier. To do this, we will use corrugated paper. You can take any color at your discretion;
- Cut a square out of corrugated paper and paste it over the bottom and top of the foam mold. We bend the edges and glue them;
- Then we cut out a wide strip of corrugated paper, its width should be slightly larger than the height of the candy;
- We glue the strip around the tiers with hot glue;
- We pull back the upper edges a little so that it looks like a wavy frill;
- Then the edges of the circles should be covered with candies and chocolates using double-sided tape;
- They can be hidden, and corrugated paper of the same color as the cake itself can simply be glued open;
- If the candies don’t stick well, you can tie them with any ribbon. It will also serve as a decorative element;
- Between the tiers you can pour multi-colored dragees, put berries, kinder surprises, icicles or various chocolates;
- The result is a beautiful candy cake that will delight many children!

Decor ideas
The most important and enjoyable 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, figures, sequins, serpentine, paper flowers and ribbons. To decorate a wedding cake, beads that imitate pearls are useful - 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 to decorate with patterns using the quilling technique. We tie each piece with braid, it will prevent the gift from falling out of the box. We make small bows from lace and glue them with PVA glue. You can insert a candle into the center of the cake. The cake frame is ready - all that remains is to fill it with gifts.
