DIY - Mini Bundt Cake Favors

Love these little treats…and you KNOW your guests will to. There is just something great about receiving a homemade favor, one that you can devour on your way home and remember the sweetness of the day. So cute.

Materials

-mini fluted pan that makes 6 cakes ( I bought my from Michael’s) You can also order them online at Amazon
-your favorite pound cake recipe (We used our Grandma Mattie’s!)
-cake boxes found here
-double sided satin ribbon found here (Michael’s sells the ribbon too, but you can get it in bulk online)
-stickers to seal the box (I made one using a design we are using throughout the wedding. I printed it on cream paper and then used a two inch paper circle cutter found at Michael’s . I then ran the stickers through and Xyron machine. You could also just buy stickers and use those)
-Cards to stick inside the box. Our cards say thank your for sharing in our wedding day along with a note about why we were giving them pound cake. Our cards are printed on cream paper and backed on black cardstock. The cream card is a 2.5 inch square. The black one is 2.75 inches.
-Double sided tape

Instructions

1. Make the cake recipe as instructed. You could use a box cake or homemade. I made the cake recipe as instructed by Grandma Mattie. The recipe made 14 mini cakes.

2. While the cakes are baking assemble the boxes. I used 5 inch boxes, but you might be able to get away with 4 inch ones.

3. Once the boxes are assembled, stick a card on the inside top of each box.

4. Once the cakes cool sprinkle with powdered sugar. Then, put each cake in a box. I put the cakes on a piece of cardboard covered in foil, but it’s not necessary. I also added lemon slices since our cake has lemon flavor, but again, that isn’t necessary.

5. Close the box and seal it with a sticker in the middle.

6. Cut about 4 feet of ribbon from your spool to wrap the box like a present. Wrap the box and tie the bow.

Overall, this is a pretty easy project. The most time consuming part is baking the cakes. It is definitely worth investing in a few pans to speed the process along. The boxes look great all wrapped up. Plus, it is a great tribute to our Grandma and our love of her cake!

YUM! So much more on the way!
