Sweet Love Towel Cake Wedding Favor*

• Wedding receptions a unique and fun way to decorate the tables, with assorted cakes set out across the buffet.
• Bridal showers the "Sweet Love" wording already says what the afternoon is about, with no printing required.
• Baby showers place them on the table at your next baby shower, where they read as dessert until someone picks one up.
• Dinner parties surprise friends and family with cakes at each setting that turn into cotton towels.
• Holiday get-togethers a Christmas or New Year table where everyone is already full and nobody needs another real dessert.
• Birthdays have fun with the guest of honor by presenting them with their own towel cake, candle on top.
• Anniversaries a "Sweet Love" cake for the couple's table, since the wording is built into the favor.
• Valentine's Day a sweet-looking gift with the sentiment already written on it and no calories attached.
• Engagement parties a dessert-themed display for the first party after the proposal, using both cake styles together.
• Best friend and hostess gifts one cake, boxed and handed over, for the friend who appreciates a joke she can actually use.

Care and use

• These are towels, not food. Nothing about the favor is edible, so a display can be built well before guests sit down.
• Unwrap the cake once and it forms an 8"L x 8"W towel made from 100% cotton, meant to be kept and used.
• The cake shape does not re-wrap itself neatly, so leave them wrapped until the moment you want the reveal.
• One buyer called it a great favor and very cute, which is what most hosts are after on a dessert table.

1. Choose the cake style you want, chocolate or strawberry, or order some of each so the display looks like a real dessert spread.
2. Set your quantity. The order minimum is 6, so count a cake for every seat or for every table you are dressing.
3. HansonEllis packs and ships your order insured by UPS, FedEx or USPS with tracking emailed to you; guests unwrap theirs into an 8" x 8" cotton towel.

• Build a cake display out of the Wedding Cake Favor Boxes and surround it with towel cakes so the whole centerpiece is edible-looking and none of it is.
• Set assorted cakes along the buffet table and wait for the first guest to reach for one with a fork.
• Put one at each place setting at a bridal or baby shower instead of a printed favor.
• Stand a candle on one and present it to the guest of honor at a birthday dinner.
• Mix the chocolate and strawberry styles down the center of a long reception table for a two-tone run of dessert.

Towel cakes differ by what the guest unwraps and by whether the favor already carries a message, so the choice is usually about size and wording.

For a reception buffet that should look like a dessert spread and send guests home with something usable, the Sweet Love cake is the one to order in quantity.

For a reception, a shower or a company party, start with the count: the order minimum is 6, and most hosts order a cake per seat plus a few extra for the buffet display. There is no personalization on this favor, so nothing needs proofing and nothing has to be spelled correctly in a list. Decide how many chocolate and how many strawberry cake styles you want, and order them together. Standard production runs 5–10 business days, rush 3–5 and expedite 1–3, plus 2–5 days of US shipping; for a wedding, order 3–6 months ahead so the favor table is settled early. If the same table also needs personalized pieces or a company logo on a companion favor, email [email protected]. For bulk pricing, please contact [email protected].
