A birthday cake rendered in tissue and paper straw, built to be admired and then, with the pull of a ribbon, undone. It holds the table as a centerpiece until the guests decide it is time to collect the candy inside — decoration and party game in a single object. Some assembly, and a little restraint, required.
Pull-ribbon piñata; simple self-assembly
Peach pink, blue, and mint tissue paper festooning
Striped paper straw 'candles' topped with gold foil 'flames'
