Sentimental Saturday - Pop-up Cake Die

Today I'm feeling sentimental for one of my very first Sizzix designs - the 3D Pop-up Cake Die. You can still purchase this die, while supplies last, from the Sizzix site at a great price.

The Cake is one of the most time-consuming and product-dependent dies I've ever designed. Wow! I'm really selling it, huh? The thing is, even though you have to take time, use strong adhesive, reinforce your connections and choose bendable side tier materials . . . the results are SO worth it. I've made more Cake cards over the years than any other die. Here are some of those cards:

 

Here is a video tutorial for assembling the cake. The Red/Black cake above is the one that I make in the video.
