This was made for this weekend's Midnight Madness Blog Hop. I made this with scrap cardboard that my husband kept for me for my paper piecing patterns. This is the first time I ever made a "cake" and was not sure it would come out...so I didn't want to use all my precious card stock...LOL
The flowers are from Fred She Said-Digi's from the Whirly Flower Line. They are just gorgeous. I used Rangers Distress Ink and sponged them, put a drop of stickles in the middle and glued them on the cake. There are about 100 flowers and leaves.
The top has a ribbon bow, I used the Borderabilities Grand Classic Lace for the trim, and some punched pumpkins around the sides. I think I need to get another picture up for you to see...lol
Thanks for looking, I did get the template off the internet for this. I did a google search for Cake favor box and one came out. I had to play with it to get the different sizes. I would be happy to share if anyone wants it.

This is stunning! I really love it. I am going to search for that pattern on the internet as I don't have a die cutting machine that will make that cake box. TFS.

Wow, Carol, what a truly AMAZING work of art. Worth every minute of the time it must have taken. Would have even been worth using your 'precious cardstock', since it DID turn out, and so wonderfully at that! It really is something to be proud of! TFS. : )
