Step 1: Cut the cardboard circles. I cut a smaller circle at about 8″, and then a smallest circle at around 6″ for my cake. So you should have a 6″, and 8″ and a 10″ to make your cake.

Step 2: Make the money cake base. Next you will need to cut two long strips of poster board to make the edges of your cake, so you can attach the money and candy.

Hot glue the cardboard strips around the outside of the circles. Then stack the tiers and glue them down.

Step 3: Attach the candy to the money cake. Next, use glue dots, or hot glue to attach your candy around the top layer of the cake. I used Reese’s and it fit 7 of them perfectly.

Step 4: Roll the cash. If you roll them tightly, you’re gonna need a lot of money. I rolled them about big enough to fit on my thumb and $20 was just perfect.
