    If you want to make some designs on base cake then take a colour paper and cut small strips of 3.5 cm and paste it on base cake. If you don’t want to add design then leave as it is.

    To make the middle part of the cake- For making 3 coils,take 6 quilling strips of width 5mm each and make 3 such tight round coils and glue them together. You can also use one 10mm & 5mm strips,which will give you 2 coils.

    Again,you can add some design on the middle part of the cake. I’ve added spiral quilling design and a little bit of glitter. To make spiral design, just take a 2mm of quilling strips and make a tight coil,release it and glue the end point.As per your requirement, make such more spiral design and glue all the spiral designs on the side of the cake.Leave some space at the top of the cake to add some glitter.

    The last part of the cake i.e.,the top part- Simply take 4 strips of 5 mm width and make such 2 tight round coil. Now to hide the joining line of the coils,glue a quilling strip of length 6.5 cm around the coil. Now attach a beautiful quilling rose flower on the side of the cake & two butterflies,one on the top of cake and another on the side of the cake.
