Step 2: Then, fold it again to meet the other end of the towel.

Step 3: Fold the towel again in half. Repeat Step 1 through 3 for the second bath towel.

Step 4: With the first bath towel, begin at the short end and roll tightly towards the other short end.

Step 5: With a safety pin, connect the short end of the rolled towel to a short end of the second folded bath towel. With both towels now pinned together, continue to roll the towel until it reaches the end.

Step 6: Place this first layer of towels aside. Repeat Step 1 through 6 for the sets of hand towels and face towels.

Step 7: Pile the layers atop one another, beginning with the first layer of towels. Your "cake" is now formed.
