5. Folding the ends together, we make a neat hole hole, if you have not done so before.
6. We pull the tape through one hole, wrap it around the middle of the workpiece, stretch it into the second hole and tie it with a bow.
7. From above and on each side we decorate the resulting piece of cake from paper with different elements.
8. On a stand or a dish we spread 11 slices, they can be fixed together with small pieces of scotch.

• Styrofoam;
• crepe-paper of soft pink color;
• paper and satin ribbon in the tone of crepe paper;
• needle and thread;
• Glue, brush, compasses, scissors;

3. Cut off long strips of crepe-paper with a width equal to the height of the cake plus 3-4 mm. Fold them in half, unfold and, on the resulting line, stitch with a suture. Gently tighten the thread, prisborivaya paper on it, and fix it. We thus make several strips to cover the entire side surface of the cake.

5. On the cake, where the thread is visible, we attach the satin ribbon.
6. We decorate the cake with candles.

Such cakes can be decorated in different ways: flowers , ribbons, different figures, but the most important decoration, of course, should be a candle.
