Bridal Shower Towel Cake
A bridal shower towel cake is made of an assortment of tiered towels that have been artfully arranged. Next, gift items are inserted into each layer. The final touches are always decorative, and often useable.
This unique gift is a simple idea that usually appears very elaborate. It is definitely one of those items that can serve a dual purpose, as a decoration and then a take home gift. It is often used as a centerpiece sitting on a serving platter or tray for extra interest. If you plan to do this, keep the color scheme of your party in mind.
Start By Choosing Your Main Ingredients
A bridal shower towel cake can be made in all colors. For a
striking effect, choose bold colors, then add contrasting ribbon and
trim. For an elegant look, use all one color for base and trim, then
insert your gifts. An extra special idea is to use a monogrammed style.
If you'd like to make your own, start with the following "main ingredients":
• 2 bath towels
• 2 hand towels
• 2 wash cloths
Then follow these steps:

1. Lay all items out flat. Fold twice lengthwise.

• flavored coffee or tea packets
• pot holder

Remember to secure items in the towel layers. Some items will be able
to be inserted into the "pocket" of the towels. Others can be pinned in
place. Never use glue.
