The advantages of alcohol presented as a gift

There are several objective reasons why you can confidently say that a cake of cans of beer will be an excellent addition to any male holiday. Be it February 23, New Year, the birthday of a husband, brother, father, boss or other representative of the strong half of humanity, without alcoholic drinks, there is not a single feast. Even if the gifted himself does not drink, he will have friends and friends whom he will be pleased to treat as a hospitable host of the house. Alcoholic beverages are a product that is non-perishable, it can and should not be consumed immediately on the day of giving.

Ingredients for cake

If you want to make a cake from beer cans by yourself, you first need to decide how many tiers it will consist of: one will need about 8 cans, for a two-level 12-15, and for a large three-layer it will take a whole box. We will consider the most voluminous version. To make a cake you will need:

• 24 cans of beer (box);
• Dense cardboard;
• scissors;
• wrapping paper;
• tape;
• Rubber bands;
• glue;
• Glue gun;
• Transparent scotch tape;
• Tray or round dish;
• At will - filling for a cake (nuts, crackers, chips, squid, small fish in bags).

If all the components are prepared, you can proceed to create a masterpiece.

Step-by-step manufacturing process

As the basis is a round tray, which is installed on the banks of the lower tier (14 pcs.). In the intervals between them stack bags with crackers, bottles around the circle wrapped with tape or tape. A circle of this diameter is cut from the cardboard, so that it can be easily installed on the cans and does not stick out at the edges. Paste it with wrapping paper in a tone to bought beer containers. The cardboard pallet is put on the first row, and 7 more cans are placed on it in a circle, packets of nuts are placed in the center, tied with a ribbon. In the same way cut out the second circle of cardboard, pasted with colored paper, put on the second tier. The remaining three cans make up the top layer, in addition to which you can twist sachets of dried squid and small fish, and tie around the tape.
How to decorate a cake from beer cans (photo can be seen in the article) everyone decides for himself: someone will like wide satin ribbons, for someone it's more pleasant to see the contents (pasted with adhesive tape), and others will want to hide the colorful jars behind a thick paper frame. The whole process of decoration depends entirely on the imagination and skill of the one who makes the gift.

Variations in the composition of cake

A variety of beer for such a gift should be chosen based on the taste preferences given. Close people probably know what kind of drink their relative or friend prefers. Those who want to avoid a state of intoxication, will perfectly suit non-alcoholic beer. There are also those who prefer this foam drink a variety of cocktails - they are also sold in cans and can be used as a component of such a cake. Option entirely without alcohol - lemonade.

If you do not like that the cake from beer cans looks too elongated, high, make it smaller. There are a couple of ways to do this:

1. Remove one or two tiers at once. From the reduction in the number of cans, the end result will not get worse: it is just supplemented with snacks, decorated with bows or wrapping paper.
2. Find in cans specialized beer cans in volume of 330 ml. They are lower than the usual half-liter, due to this cake looks natural, squat.
