Place a large, round cake tray on your work surface. Arrange three toilet paper rolls in a circle in the center of the tray and then surround the circle with an outer circle of five toilet paper rolls. Add additional outer circles to the cake to make it larger.

Step 5

Trim the stems of 10 silk flowers to about 3 inches in length. (You'll need more silk flowers if you made the cake larger.) Slide the stem of one flower into the exposed inner roll of any of the toilet paper rolls. This creates a decorative enhancement for the cake and hides the inner circles of the rolls.
