That's really cute! It reminds me of a baby cake my mom makes for baby showers. She uses towels, blankets, etc to make a pretty cake as her gift. Don't know how she does it though!

That picture was taken at national conference that year.

I made one and use it all my bridal fairs and shows. People love it! I have a bride and groom dove I found at Michaels as my top.

I made it as follows (I just did 3 layers):

Start with a circle of bubble wrap for the centers of the bottom 2 layers

Fold the white towels so they are the width of the words (TPC) and then roll them. The top layer takes 2 towels. Either tape or use stick pins to hold the roll in place.

Then make a circle of rolled bubble wrap (to be same width and thickness of top layer) and then wrap 2 towels around it for the 2nd layer.

Make a circle of the bubble wrap the same size as the middle row and wrap 2 towels around it for the bottom layer.

I assemble them with tulle, ribbons, beads, rose petals as garnish and top with the doves. I put them either on the Round Woven Selections or the Celebrate Plate.
 
Thanks Beth......:D
