It’s finally here, the day we’ve all been waiting for. It’s the day that The Great British Bake Off season six begins! It seems that a lot of crafters like to pick up a whisk just as much as a glue gun – baking is yet another way of expressing your creativity and making something by hand. However, if you’re a papercrafter at heart (and you’re prone to a soggy bottom), take a look at our top 7 paper cakes. They’re great for filling with treats and gifts and, best of all, they’re zero calories!
