Wooden Birthday Cakes

This DIY Birthday Cake is a Delicious Looking Piece of Party Decor

These wooden DIY birthday cakes are an unusual yet crafty piece of party decor. The delicious craft has the appeal of a layered dessert but is strictly for decoration purposes.

Using thin pine boards, various paint colors of the maker's choice, mini taper candles, wood glue and a drill, this DIY craft can be assembled quite easily. Just like a layered birthday cake, this birthday decoration displays five layers of different colors. Each color symbolizes a different cake flavor, which is completely up to the maker. Inedible DIY birthday cakes are not a conventional party decoration but it does prove to be rather cost-efficient.

Artistic and adorable, a DIY birthday cake may not be delicious, but it is decorative.
