What an incredible surprise to unfold a hidden gift of money from inside a birthday cake and we’ll share how to make a Surprise Money Cake of your own.

We stumbled upon this idea and thought, WOW! – a birthday cake and a gift all in one!

How it Works: Hide a rolled up gift of money ($ notes) inside a birthday cake and as the recipient lifts up the Happy Birthday sign or Candle on the top, the money gift keeps unfolding out!

Watch the reaction here on a clip we found on Youtube…..

Items Needed

A Birthday Cake Sponge (not iced or decorated yet)
1 empty toilet roll
Aluminium Foil
Small Cellophane bags (enough for the amount of $$ notes you are using) OR sheets of clear cellophane wrapping
An amount of $$ money as your gift (we used 20 x $5 notes, which worked great)
Sticky Tape
Knife & Scissors
Small piece of ribbon or string
Icing & Decorations for the Birthday Cake
Happy Birthday Cake topper Sign or Candle

Step by Step How to Make a Surprise Money Cake …. (there is also a Video Tutorial below to watch how this is done)

Make your birthday cake sponge like you normally would do ….. but don’t ice it yet

2. Insert each of the $$ Notes into a separate cellophane bag and tape them end to end, to form a long line.

OR if you don’t have little bags, use a sheet of clear cellophane gift wrap and line each of the $$ notes in a row, end to end. Then enclose them in the cellophane wrapping and stick them shut.

3. Then using sticky tape, join each of the cellophane money sleeves end to end to form a long row.

4. Starting at one end of the long Money strip, roll it up (put aside for later – this will be inserted into the toilet roll)

5. Cover the toilet roll in Aluminium Foil and cut a slit in the middle of the toilet roll, a bit longer than the width of the plastic money sleeves you’ve just made.

6. Tape one end of the roll shut and leave the other end open.

7. Insert the roll of money into the open end of the toilet roll and feed the start of the money through the slit. Then tape the open end of the toilet roll closed.

8. Attach the length of ribbon (or string) onto this beginning edge of the Money Roll. (this will attach to the Happy Birthday cake topper shortly)

9. Then using a knife, cut a hole into the middle of your Birthday Cake sponge the size of the toilet roll and insert the toilet roll into the hole.(the money roll facing up)

10. Using the bits of cut out cake sponge, refill around the gaps near the toilet roll – ensure the ribbon is poking out the top.

11. Then, ice and decorate your birthday cake as you’d like – making sure the ribbon is still poking out the top

12. Lastly, attach the ribbon to the bottom of your Happy Birthday Sign or Candle (or just leave poking out of the cake – ready to be pulled out !

That’s How to Make a Surprise Money Cake !

In true Pavlovian form, humans are accustomed to getting excited at the sweet sound of an ATM dispensing cash. But is that sound artificially generated? If so, why?

The website Humans Invent, which is somehow partnered up with Sharp Electronics, posted a roundup of technologies equipped with artificial sounds “designed to help humans.” Ultra-quiet electric vehicles, for instance, are being outfitted to produce “vroom” sounds so that pedestrians and bikes can hear them coming and get out of the way, if need be. Some sports arenas have artificial crowd noises, and while those sounds are designed to help the home team, they mostly serve as reminders (depressing, sorta creepy reminders) that the arena is three-quarters empty.

The last item in the list is the ATM machine, with its “comforting whirr of the cash point,” as Humans Invent puts it:

The assumption most people jump to is that the sound is produced by rollers delivering the notes to the collection slot. In fact, the sound is an entirely artificial addition to the process.

The noise is produced by a speaker and purely included in the transaction to reassure you that your money is on its way. Without the added noise, the ATM would be practically silent with its moving parts on the other side of a brick wall.

Word of these claims quickly spread online, and in a thread at Reddit, several commenters who say they’ve worked on ATMs for years called B.S. One wrote:

I serviced ATM/ABM machines for over 4 years, there is no artificial sound, the machines really are that loud (and about 10 times louder with the vault door opened) the belts that are spinning to deliver the cash from the cash cassettes to the customer are by no means “practically silent.” And there is no f***in brick wall in the MIDDLE of the damn machines.

Humans Invent countered by pointing to a Times (of London) story about artificial electric car sounds that quickly and offhandedly also mentions a few other purportedly fake features added to various technologies over the years:

• An unpleasant odour has been added to natural gas since 300 children died in 1937 after a leak at a Texas school went unnoticed
• Digital cameras make the sound of a shutter closing to reassure users
• Cash machines whirr to convince us that our money is on its way
• Manufacturers use dye to make strawberry ice-cream pink, ketchup red and squash orange

If the cash-machine sounds are fake, you can understand why designers would make them so. As the great philosopher Jerry Seinfeld once mused:

They really got us trained to use that cash machine now, don’t they? We’re just like chickens in an experiment waiting for that pellet to come down the chute.

You see people at the cash machine; they’re just there. Just, dit dit dit dit dit dit dit, they’re waiting for the sound, you know the sound, you’re waiting for the sound. That’s what we’re trained to hear, the ‘here comes the money’ sound, ya know?
