I first want to say a big thank-you to Fairytale for her inspirational hat box cake AND instructions that she posted on the forum a while back...
Anyhow, I had a go at one ...it's the birthday cake for the wife of a coworker who is turning 50...her DH wanted to surprise her for her birthday and I pretty well had free reign!
It is well worth looking up the instructions and trying one..I was going to post to the original link but I can't find it now...
I was also inspired by Blakescakes hatbox cake as well!
Anyhow, thanks for looking!!! |

Thanks for posting the link Shirley...my searching skills leave a bit to be desired.
Yes, Jan is definitely the go-to person on these...they are awesome and your birthday cake was BEAUTIFUL!!! I think that was when I decided to make one!
Thanks everyone for the lovely comments!
My cake is so heavily doweled for the longish ride in the morning...I doubt they will be able to get it apart for cutting!!!  |

I can honestly say this is one of the most satisfying feeling I have ever had, to see such a successful cake and to think my instructions helped. I'm just thrilled it came out so elegant. It's very original and has a look unique to your work. This is just terrific! Would love to see the look on her face when she gets it. |

These cakes are just beautiful...I want to try one, and I've read the instructions. I do have one question about attaching the top (lid)...after reading fairtales instructions (which are awesome) I'm still not quite sure
how the "wedge" is actually attached between the lid and the base to "prop" it open? Is frosting used to attach the fondant covered styrofoam? Or maybe a starpened dowel? I'm just trying to get this picture in my head,
and I just can't seem to get it!  Can anyone help me understand the
"technical" part! lol thanks.
