I've made several money cakes now and it's so much fun! I recently made three for friends and they turned out so cool.
Tutorial for a round two tier cake HERE.
I thought I would do a tutorial on how to make a square money cake.
Purchased styrofoam squares at Michael's.
I decided to make a 4 tier cake!!
The round bills add up quickly.
I tested out spacing for approximate amount to make the cake.
I cut poster board and wrapped the edges of the top tier.
Top tier fit 9 bills on each side equaling $36.
For the square I started in the corner matching the first bill to the edge. Then I folded the next bill over the edge. To see more on folding see my previous tutorial HERE.
I used small stick pins to attach bills and I tried to place them all in the same spot.
I used wooden dowels to secure each tier.
For the top I needed to cover the styrofoam. I wanted to use paper shreds but the ones I had were black but almost had a purple tint. I decided to make my own from streamers.
Top tier - $36
3rd tier - $24
2nd tier - $28
Bottom tier - $32
Total amount - $120
I added ribbon to match school colors.
I also made another round cake. This one was $50.
