Cake Pinata

A birthday cake often takes a starring role at a birthday party, but it's not often that you invite all your guests to take turns trying to smash it to pieces. Fortunately, this 26 cm tall two-tiered cake is actually made of sturdy paper and card and designed for exactly that purpose. Before hanging it up by the plastic loop in the top, party organisers can cut out the carefully marked hole in the top and fill it with their choice of sweets or prizes. For the more genteel version of the game, guests (usually children, but there's no need to be strict about these things!) line up and take turns to pull a ribbon out of the bottom of the cake until eventually the structure is weakened enough to start releasing the treats you have stuffed inside. For the higher-energy and slightly more dangerous version of the game, give the children some kind of stick (sold separately or just use a broom handle) and let them take a swipe at the cake until eventually it's bashed enough to start to sweet candy rain from the nice wide 95 cm circumference base of the cake.This is a paper decoration and game. It's not to be eaten or set on fire.
