This little box gives the recipient a super sweet surprise when the lid is lifted.

The decorated cake top is removable so that the tea light can be turned on and off (or replaced, if needed).

Here's a little tour of the project:

Tea Light Birthday Cake Tutorial

Punch two White 2-1/4" scalloped circles for the cake top and bottom. Assemble a 1/2" tall riser with Book Board scraps. Trim Pink plain at 1-1/4x5-1/2" to create the cake wrap; stamp "Happy Birthday" in White Pigment Ink.

Glue a mat board spacer onto the center of a Green scalloped circle. Adhere the White scalloped circle over the spacer creating a sandwich to form the cake base.

Bend the Pink cake wrap around the base of the tea light. Glue where the edges overlap. (The wrap should be slightly larger than the tea light to allow for removal.) Adhere the riser to the base with Bookbinding Glue.

To create a lid, trim a 3-5/8" square from the White Print, and score 1/2" from all four sides.
