I’ve heard that there are people out there who don’t love glitter? What?! How can that be? What’s not to love? It’s so sparkly and pretty and happy and I especially love it if it’s pink.

A few weeks ago my 13-year-old was invited to a girl’s birthday party and needed a gift. I got excited and had him take a fun donut themed gift because it’s not every day I get to put together a cute gift and it’s fun for me! He said it was a little embarrassing to give it to her but I bet she loved it! Plus, I like to make my 13-year-old squirm a little.

There are a few things that I’m passionate about.

But one thing I’m sure about is that I am obsessed with chocolate. How can you go wrong with chocolate? Cookies, ice cream, brownies, cake, I’ll take it in any form, but today I’m going to give it to you in candy form. Candy made into a cake.

If you’ve got a chocolate lover in your life they are going to LOVE this chocolate candy cake. In fact, you will probably be their favorite person if you give them this for their birthday! 

Now, I made a candy cake recently from fruity candy and you all loved it!

But I couldn’t resist making a chocolate version because to us it’s so much yummier! Want to make one yourself? Got someone in your life who loves chocolate and would love this as a gift? (This would also be a fun centerpiece at a birthday party.)

Let’s make it!

Chocolate Candy Cake Tutorial:

Supplies Needed:

• 2 Hat Boxes in different sizes (You can get them at the craft store. I used the 9-inch and 7-inch sizes but any will work.)
• Candy bars for the bottom layer-I used M&Ms and it took about 12 King size packs
• Candy bars for the next layer-use any kind you want here! I found a box with a bunch in it that saved some money. You are going to need about 15-18 for this layer
• Mini or fun-size candy bars to fill the top
• Floral foam in a circle to fit in your top box
• Happy Birthday sign (I found ours at the craft store. Also check party stores.)
• Birthday accents and ribbon
• Double stick tape
• Rubber bands (large ones)

How to Make a Chocolate Candy Cake:

Here’s a video of the process that I used to make this cake.

Basically, you just need to use a rubber band around each level and then add some double stick tape to the back of each candy bar and tuck it in behind the rubber band.

Add your two layers worth of candy in this way. Then add your floral foam on the top and stick your sign and accents down into it.

Fill the top with your mini candy bars.

Add ribbon around each layer to cover the rubber bands.

And you’re all set to give this fun chocolate candy cake!

How great is that?!

Have FUN giving this chocolate candy cake!

If there’s one thing nobody minds receiving for a birthday or other occasion, it’s probably money, right? Getting money for your birthday means you can spend it on anything you want, which just feels so fun and freeing!

But if you’re like me, sometimes just giving money feels a little boring as the giver. I love coming up with creative ways to give money so that if I end up gifting it for an occasion, I can spruce it up a little bit!

This birthday balloon money gift idea is a fun and simple way to add a little bit of fun to giving money to someone.

Cute right? Balloons are just so colorful and fun anytime but filled with money they are even better!

This is a simple gift idea to pull off but let’s break it down here.

Money Gift Idea: Balloons Filled with Dollars

Supplies Needed:

• Money-you can do $1 bills or larger amounts, depending on how much money you want to give and how many ballons you want to use
• Balloons (I filled ours with helium)
• Printable Tag (see below)
• Pin

Here’s an important thing to remember…put your money in the balloons before you blow them up. This seems obvious, but I might have forgotten that the first time around…

So, I just took the dollar bills to the party store, picked out some balloons and then stuffed our dollars inside and had them fill the balloons with helium.

Then I bunched all our balloons together and added this cute tag.

Then I stuck a little pin on the tag so they can pop the balloons with it.

Printable Birthday Gift Tags:

Here is the printable tag for you to use. You can save it to your computer and then size and print how you want or I’ve got a PDF with a few on it ready for you to print.

Then just add the tag to your balloons and you’re all set to give it!

Sometimes you need a creative idea for a birthday or special occasion-something outside the normal. Maybe for the person who has everything or something to surprise a friend on a special day.

This candy cake is fun to put together and turns out fabulous! Who wouldn’t want to receive one of these!

And you can even customize it for anyone and add the kind of candy they love!

Kids love this as a birthday gift (trust me-I’ve given them to my kids. Huge hit!)

This candy cake would also work great as a thank you gift or something fun for teacher appreciation.

What would you use it for?

Also, I’ve got a chocolate candy cake version now too if chocolate is more your thing!

Candy Cake Ideas & Tutorial:

This is pretty straightforward to put together this candy cake. Here’s how.

Supplies Needed:

• 2 Hat Boxes in different sizes (You can get them at the craft store.)
• Candy of all varieties-you’ll need 7-8 large boxes of candy around the bottom level, about 20 Airheads for the next level, a bag of Tootsie Pops, lollipops, and filler candy (I used fruity Tootsie Rolls)
• Hot Glue
• Ribbon
• Floral foam in a circle to fit into your smaller hat box

How to Assemble Your Candy Cake:

Start out with your hat boxes. You won’t need the lids so you can toss those aside. Then turn them upside down to work with:

Begin hot gluing candy around the bottom layer (your larger hat box) so that the bottom of the candy box is flush with the bottom (which is actually the top since you have it upside down) of your hat box.

Glue all the way around.

Do the same thing with the candy for the second tier but make sure that your box is right side up so that the opening faces up. You will fill this later.

I used Airheads and they worked great but you can use anything you want. If you choose chocolate, just be careful not to melt it with the hot glue.

After adding the Airheads I glued the Tootsie Pops to the inside of the smaller hat box all along the edge, behind the Airheads.

Place the second tier on top of the first. Hot glue it in place if you’d like to keep it stable.

Then I placed the floral foam down into the box and added the lollipops but sticking the sticks in there.

Finish it off by putting your filler candy down into the open spots-between the two layers and in the top around the lollipops.

How fun does that turn out?! Does it make you want to eat all the candy?

Have FUN making this candy cake!
