Instead of just a square box I wanted a fun whimsical gift-box look for some friends of ours, so I trimmed the 3-layers of cake ( I used an 8" on top, 7" and 6" squares ) in an inverted pyramid style and added polka dots and a large red gumpaste bow with twisty ribbon tails It is a French Vanilla cake with raspberry filling and it is frosted in buttercream and smoothed to resemble fondant. The red and green polka dots are fondant and the gumpaste tag was written with edible markers.
