Sugarshack's boxes and bows DVD is brilliant for different ideas on creating the lids.

Hi Clair,
I created the lid for the gift box cake posted below by inverting my cake pan and dusting it wth corn starch. Then rolling out gumpaste and covering the bottom of the pan. I then constructed my bow directly on the lid and left it to dry. I recommend making this in advance so it has time to dry.
After it's dry simply slip it off the cake pan. I used 3 chopsticks to hold the lid up. One shorter one positioned in the back and 2 longer ones in the front.
I hope this helps. If you have any questions feel free to message me.
Here is a photo of the cake with the lid.

Sorry, the double post pixie has struck again.
Cake-Princess - using the pan lid is a great idea! I never would have thought to use that in 100 years. I was thinking about just using a cake and covering it.
But your method will keep it very lightweight.
Thanks for sharing!!
Your cake is gorgeous, btw!!
Have a gift box cake to make next weekend - I'll post some pics using the method suggested. Thanks. x
