DIY Valentines Cake + Cake Box by milkbun

Very very cute D.I.Y cake box by milkbun! You can download the PDF file here to start printing and folding this box yourself!

This is the Strawberry Chocolate Cake with Cake Box TokiToki = cute pod papercraft that you can make it yourself.
This is a little 2inch square cake with a cake box to store it in. There is even room for a little note if you want to give it as a gift =D
I tried very hard to make a heart shaped or round cake but the structures were too complicated and unstable. I would rather the cake be accessable and easy for everyone to make with minimal cutting/folding/glueing. I'll save the tough stuff for another project.
