Perfecting your cake with
CAKE FLOWERS
By Katie Huntley, Rose + Thyme Floral
The wedding cake is a classic part of the wedding. From the cutting to the “cake smash”, it’s a fun way to celebrate the wedding and is actually a symbol of good luck and hope to the couple.
However, how should you design your cake? What should it look like? Inside it must be delicious, but the guests are going to see the outside too! The cake can be a centerpiece and fun focal point of the wedding, but how do you make that delectable count?
Cake flowers are the answer! There are so many different ways to make that cake look like a showstopper and a few simple flowers can really make all the difference! Choosing the cake flowers depends on the theme because the possibilities are ultimately endless. Wanting a boho minimalist vibe? Have your florist throw some dried grasses on there. Going for a wildflower vibe? Your cake can show it. Fall garden party wedding? Your cake can indicate that too! The flowers help to showcase the colors and theme of the wedding in many ways, and adding that element to the cake is always a good idea!
As far as design goes, talk to your cake decorator and see if they would like to put the flowers on the cake before asking your florist to do it. The cake is the baker’s masterpiece and you want to keep it that way! However, we would suggest asking the florist for the flowers whether or not the cake decorator decides to do it. That way there is harmony throughout all the florals in the wedding! If the cake decorator is fine with the florist doing the flowers, make sure they know they will be the ones doing it so they can be there and coordinate when the cake arrives!
Whatever cake flowers you decide to do... remember that it can be the finishing touch to the wedding and a fantastic focal point for all the guests! It is well worth the couple extra dollars to make your cake really stand out!
