This is super cute, individualized, and EASY to make! I gave this to my boyfriends sister for her birthday and it was a huge hit.
Supplies
12" metal cake pan ( I found mine at Walmart in the wedding aisle for about $5)
Pony Beads (container of approx. 500)
Candle stick holder
E6000 Glue
What to do:
- Place the pony beads into the cake pan. Try to make sure that the layer is even, you don't want your cake sliding off.
- Place in the oven at 425 for 25-30 minutes (Caution: this step will smell terrible as the beads are melting).
- Remove from the oven and allow the pan to cool. Once it has cool flip the pan over and it will slide right out (No joke this is really what happens!)
- HERE IS WHERE THINGS GOT TRICKY! When the top came out of the pan there where pieces of plastic sticking up from where the beads stuck to the side of the pan as it was melting. Use a dremel tool to smooth out the edges (or you can also use sandpaper it will just take longer to smooth it all out).
- Attach the candle stick holder on the bottom in the center.
