This year we made my husband a beer cake for his birthday. 

Happy BEERthday!

I matched all the colors and made a gold, white, and black theme. 

I picked several of his favorite beers. 

Made these Happy BEERthday tags. Email me if you want the file.

Easy to print!

I also had some glitter prints leftover from the red carpet event and used the same star punch.

I used 57 beers total

12 pack Shiner Bock

6 pack Shiner Bock

15 pack Blue Moon

12 pack Heineken

6 pack Stash IPA

6 pack Firemans #4

I used a large bowl as a template for the bottom tier. 

Traced on foam board left over from the mosaic birthday balloons. 

Use a box cutter or exacto knife to cut from the foam board.

I'm using these from Amazon since you can just pop the end off and have a brand new blade.

I had leftover gold/silver poster boards from the money cake tutorial. 

Cut and taped to the foam board. It didn't look good just white.

Arranged the beers to see how many per tier.

I used a smaller bowl to trace the next tier.

Traced an even smaller bowl for the top tier.

I basically just set all the beers on the table and put the foam board in between each layer. I originally tried to just stack them but it looked like it would fall any second. It really needs the boards for support. 

top tier - 3 cans

2nd tier - 7 cans

3rd tier - 20 cans

bottom tier - 27 cans

NOTE: the bottom tier on the table is not completely full. Shhhhh. I spread them out to the edge of the foam board. It's full but not completely full like the other layers.

Since they are just stacked it would be difficult to transport. Maybe hot glue the beers to each foam board layer??? It was really heavy but maybe an idea if you need to take it somewhere. 

I put the stars on wooden dowels and stuck between beers. Not attached either.

I thought about adding ribbon but it took away from all the labels.

AND for my husbands birthday gift.....a FULL Thanksgiving dinner. His birthday is about 1/2 way in the year from Thanksgiving so it works out perfect. 

I cook everything! 

Turkey

Green bean casserole

Mashed potatoes

Stuffing

Corn

Roasted broccoli

Sweet potatoes

Deviled eggs

Rolls

Pumpkin pie

Fluffy pumpkin spice cheesecake

This is an annual tradition and one of his favorite meals.

EASY 2 tier diaper cake - Baby shower idea - HOW TO MAKE tutorial - Table centerpiece or gift - 1 package of newborn diapers

I recently made a diaper cake for a baby shower and it turned out so cute. You can add gift cards or baby toys but it's so cute by itself. Could be used as a table centerpiece or decoration. 

Here is a tutorial to make a small two tier diaper cake with one package of newborn diapers. 

Supplies:

Huggies newborn diapers - 31

Ribbon

Paper shreds

Rubber bands

Hot glue

To roll the diapers, start at the top of the diaper and roll to the bottom. This will give you a nice finished side. Use a rubber band to secure.

I rolled 7 individual diapers and bunched together to make the center circle. Then used a larger rubber band to hold them in place.

Then I rolled 15 more individual diapers. 

I added another large rubber band around the center and started filling in the diapers making a ring around the original 7 in the center. 

I filled in 11 of the 15 diapers and started using the paper shreds to space out the center and outer ring. This will give you room to add the additional 4 diapers. 

 For the remaining 9 diapers I made the top tier. I overlapped the diapers vertically and rolled. Secured with a large rubber band around them. 

I filled the center with paper shreds making it a little larger. You can adjust the diaper to make them evenly spaced. 

I placed two dowels on either side of the bottom tier and slid the top tier in place. 

It actually holds pretty well. I didn't use anything extra to hold the diapers together.

I wrapped the ribbon around each tier to hide the rubber bands.

 I attached the ribbon together with hot glue at the ends. I did not attach anything to the actual diapers so not to ruin any of them. 

I printed a few graphics and attached with hot glue to the ribbon. 

I used a dowel to attach the top graphic. 

Made a small ribbon bow to hide the dowel.

CANDY BAR CAKE - Birthday Idea - Cookies 'n' Creme TOWER - DIY gift ideas - recycled boxes - HOW TO build

I helped my son make a friend THIS candy cake in December. At that time he made a comment about wanting one with Hersey's Cookies 'n' Creme bars (his favorite) for his birthday.

I decided to make his candy cake with recycled boxes.

After testing the size of candy that would fit best, I ended up using a cereal box, fruit roll up box, and two protein bar boxes.

I wrapped all the boxes in green paper. You couldn't really see the boxes but just in case.

Green is his favorite color. I made the base green to match his gifts and donuts. Gold metallic shreds to match his balloons.

Cake board is optional and not needed. I made a second cake and only used boxes.

I found XL bars for $1 each and regular size bars 2 for $1 on sale at Walgreens. The mini bars were in packages of 6 for $1 and drops on sale at HEB.
XL - 4 - $4
Reg - 12 - $6
Mini (24 bars) pkg - 5 - $5
Bag of drops - 1 - $2.66 (on sale)

Total cost of candy was $18.

I was at Wal-Mart the other day and saw they have racks of candy for $1.96 for 12 minitures.

 I'm making a white chocolate recess peanut butter cup cake for my younger son for his birthday.

I used hot glue to attach candy.

I hot glued strips of paper for the second tier. It felt like it needed a little extra support to hold the candy in place. 

I used two boxes for the top layer. Since you couldn't really see the boxes, I didn't wrap the bottom box. 

Each layer is hot glued in place.

I hot glued the drops on the top. I thought about doing a happy birthday graphic but thought he would like this better....more candy. :)
