From child to elder everyone like to accept and giving gifts. The boxes were handcrafted from cardboard and were mostly oval or round in shape. The customers of the cardboard containers were usually confectioners, hatters, jewelers, owners of ready-to-wear shops, and pharmacists.

With the development of technology, the making of folding cardboard boxes of square and rectangle shapes, with printed or pasted on decorative paper, began.

Nowadays, gift wrapping is made most often from plastic, expanded polystyrene or polyethylene or cardboard, less often from metal. We make this gift box from cake.

It starts with a 6″ square cake. We bake up a classic chocolate cake but your favorite cake recipe will surely work just as well.

The textured holly leaves mean that your layer of buttercream doesn’t have to be perfect. Once your fondant leaves are added, all this cake is the perfect finish touch which is a handmade red fondant bow. One word of warning, be sure to create the bow at least one day ahead so that it’s firm enough to be added to your cake when finished.
