A candy cake is a real chocolate bomb that will amaze you with its taste and design. Such a treat does not require special storage conditions, like cakes with cream and fruit, and to prepare it, you just need to know how to use scissors and glue.

To please a loved one with a sweet surprise in the form of a cake, you don’t have to be a pastry chef or love the baking process. Using your own imagination, a couple of handfuls of your favorite candies and scrap materials, spending a little free time, you can create a real masterpiece - a candy cake.

Of course, various materials can be used to create certain structural elements, so below is an approximate list of what may be required during the work process:

  • thick cardboard;
  • Styrofoam;
  • scissors;
  • sandpaper;
  • glue gun;
  • double-sided and regular tape;
  • PVA glue;
  • toothpicks or bamboo sticks;
  • colored corrugated paper;
  • various candies.
  1. First you need to make the base of the cake in the form of a round cylinder, the diameter and height of which will be equal to the diameter of the future cake. Such a frame can be glued together from thick cardboard or cut out of polystyrene foam. For smoother edges, sand the foam cylinder with sandpaper. If you plan to make a product of several tiers, then you need to make several cylinders;

You can purchase false cakes as a foam base for the cake at a confectionery store, then the task will be much easier.

  1. Next, the base needs to be covered with colored corrugated paper. The joints around the circumference of the cylinder can be beautifully decorated with beautiful braid, beads or decorative cord. After this, sweets are glued to the side of the cylinder in a circle using double-sided tape;
  2. An important stage in making cake decorations. Sweet flowers made from candies can become such a decor. They are all made according to the same principle: they tape candy to a skewer or toothpick, cut out petals from corrugated paper and also tape it to the toothpick. From several of these flowers you can assemble a composition to decorate the top of the cake;
  3. When all the elements of the sweet design are ready, all that remains is to connect the tiers together, attach the top decoration and give a sweet surprise of hand-made beauty.

Children will remember this cake made from juice and sweets for a long time. It will be the center of attention at a children's party, so they will not soon want to take it apart into separate sweets and eat it. This cake can be round, like the previous options, or you can make it square.

List of required materials and tools:

  • penoplex 1-2 cm thick;
  • cardboard square box;
  • corrugated paper;
  • scissors and glue;
  • juices in small rectangular packages;
  • candies;
  • Double-sided tape;
  • satin ribbons and additional decorative elements.

  1. Cut out a square base from penoplex foam on which to place and secure the juices. Decorate the cut of the backing with a satin ribbon; you can also tie it around the juices;
  2. Cover a cardboard box with paper and sweets and secure it to the juices. It is not necessary to do this so that the corners coincide; you can shift it so that the corners of the upper tier “look” at the sides of the lower one;
  3. Decorate the cake using artificial flowers, butterflies, toys, ribbon bows - those elements that will look harmonious in color and style.

Cut the corrugated paper into strips 2.5 cm wide and 6-10 cm long (depending on the size of the candies). Twist each strip in the center and fold in half, stretching the middle a little. Attach three of these petals to each candy, and the spring crocus is ready;

Cut the green film paper into squares, fold them diagonally several times and screw the middle to a cut toothpick so that the corners are at the top. Use these green leaves to fill the gaps between the crocuses;
  5. The cake is almost ready, you can only add additional accents to it - an artificial butterfly, ladybug, beads, etc.

Master class on making a gift with your own hands. Today we are making a gift cake for a girl for her 4th birthday. We'll put some goodies there that she loves.

If you find it difficult to choose a gift, then making such a cake will be a great solution for you. After all, it can be given not only to a child, but also to a woman, for example, on March 8th or on a birthday, or to a man on his holiday. True, the filling of the cake will be different, according to the taste of the recipient.

Be sure to look at the other article for gift ideas. If you want to congratulate your child’s teacher or educator, you will find suggestions in.

To make such a gift, no special skills are required. The main thing is that if you are making it for your grandmother, grandfather, father, mother, teacher, educator or for other people, you can involve your children in the craft. This is a powerful educational moment when a child participates in a common cause with his parents. And, of course, production should be accompanied by a good mood and a desire to do something pleasant.

Cake Supplies:

  • corrugated cardboard from unnecessary boxes;
  • wrapping;
  • tape measure or ruler;
  • scissors;
  • glue;
  • tape – double-sided and regular;
  • ribbons of different widths and colors;
  • products for filling the cake.

First, cut out circles of the required size from corrugated cardboard. You can draw a circle using a compass or utensils suitable in diameter.

Now we cut out 3 strips according to the diameters of the circles. We make the width of the strip so that it is about 1 cm higher than the products used.

We corrugate the strips along the entire length so that they can be easily and neatly connected into a circle.


These are the 3 corrugated strips we should get.

We apply the corrugated part to the circle, if everything matches, for convenience we glue the two sides with tape. If there is excess left, just cut it off.

We do the same with the rest of the blanks.

If everything turned out nice and neat, you can glue it inside and out. We used a glue gun. It glues quickly and is almost odorless. If your glue has a strong odor, leave the workpieces in a dry, ventilated area for a while. Let the smell dissipate.

As a result, you should have a design like this.

When the entire structure is ready and adjusted, we cut out the base in the form of a circle of even larger diameter.

Now we need to cover the entire structure with beautiful paper. You can use gift wrapping paper or any other. We use corrugated paper. She is soft and pliable. But you have to work with it carefully - it can tear.

Trace the outline of the circle for the pallet with a pencil. Step back from the line 6 - 7 centimeters for the hem allowance. And cut out the circle.

In order for the paper to lay flat on the cardboard, the fold must be cut with scissors. For convenience, we used double-sided tape to prevent the paper from moving.

Now you can glue it.

Now we need to paste over the tops of our cylinders. We cut the paper along the circles with allowances for hems. Fold the resulting circle several times and cut out teeth like these.

Glue it.

We cut out strips of paper for the barrels, not forgetting about the allowances for the hem at the bottom.

We cut the paper at the bottom to make gluing easier.

Glue the largest cylinder onto the base.

We do the same with the other two, gluing them on top of each other.

Let's move on to the most enjoyable stage of decorating our cake - filling it with food. But first place the entire structure on a rigid foundation. For example, like ours, on a sheet of plastic.

Sweets are always a welcome gift for any holiday; children eagerly await them; they are given to ladies and loved ones. Sweet gifts are gaining great popularity and can well serve as an independent gift. On the Internet you can find photos of crafts made from sweets for every taste.

Candy stand

Crafts from candies are easy to make with your own hands for any holiday. The most popular are bouquets of sweets. Any candy is suitable for creating bouquets, but it is easier to work with round and light-weight ones.

Bouquet of roses

Necessary materials:

  • Candies 15-20 pieces
  • Long skewers
  • Corrugated paper in two colors for buds and green for petals
  • Glue gun
  • Scotch
  • Threads
  • Organza
  • Satin ribbons

We cut blanks from corrugated paper for petals measuring 8*12 cm, fold the blanks in half and round the ends, forming petals. We secure the candies on the skewers with tape. We tightly twist the candy into the petal and secure it with thread at the base. We stretch the edge of the corrugation, forming petals.


From green paper we cut out small pieces 0.7 cm wide, about 10 cm high, round the ends with scissors. For each flower you will need 4-5 leaves, glue them to the base of the flower so that the leaves are slightly higher than the petals. For realism, slightly curl the ends of the leaves. We wrap the skewers up to the middle with green paper and secure them with glue.

We collect the resulting flowers into a bouquet in a spiral and tie them with ribbon. We turn the bouquet over and decorate it with corrugated paper, and tie the packages with thread. We decorate the bouquet with organza on top and tie it with satin ribbons.

Additionally, the bouquet can be decorated with beads and bows made of satin ribbons. Candy flowers can be placed in a basket.

Candy heart

  • To make it you will need:
  • Styrofoam
  • Skewers or toothpicks
  • Candy flowers
  • Jewelry (beads, ribbons)

We take foam plastic 3 cm high to make the base, draw a heart on it and cut it out. We make flowers from candies according to the previous master class. Instead of long skewers, you can use toothpicks.

Glue corrugated paper to the resulting heart on both sides, use an awl to make holes and insert candy flowers. We decorate the edges of the heart with corrugated paper and organza, or tie it with a wide satin ribbon.

Sweet card

Necessary materials:

  • Thick cardboard
  • Sweets and chocolates
  • Colored paper

We select the size of the postcard ourselves, fold the cardboard in the shape of a book. For the base, instead of cardboard, you can use the cover of an old book. We write wishes on two sheets of paper of the required size and glue sweets; you can use white or colored paper.

We wrap the card-book with colored or wrapping paper, secure everything with glue, and paste sheets of wishes and sweets inside the card. We decorate the outside with beads and appliqués.

A postcard can be given not only for birthdays, but also to coincide with a themed holiday. Candies can be wrapped in colored paper, then they will resemble gift boxes.


Handmade gifts always delight the heart and eye; they speak of a special reverent attitude.

Candy crafts for children

For children, sweet gifts are made in the shape of animals or cars; such gifts are more complex. But with the help of step-by-step instructions, you can make a candy cake for children.

Two-tier candy cake

To prepare, you will need two round cardboard boxes of different diameters; you can make them yourself from cardboard, or use ready-made ones. The larger box will be the first tier of the cake, fill it with sweets and close it, place a smaller box on top and glue it. We also fill the insides with any sweets.

To decorate the ends you will need long candies of square or rectangular shape; we fix them in a circle with glue. The top of the cake can be decorated with small candies in multi-colored candy wrappers and small toys.

After the holidays there is always a lot of candy wrappers left over; they can be used for children's creativity or adult crafts. You can make simple Christmas tree decorations, colored appliques and much more from multi-colored candy wrappers.

Paper candy wrappers are suitable for creating origami figures, and snowflakes can be cut out from foil candy wrappers. Making crafts from candy wrappers will not only diversify children's creativity, but will also help save on materials.
