Flowers have always been a staple design, but this truly takes the cake (pun intended). Both elegant and fun, timeless and unique: wildflower cakes have taken the internet by storm.
Why should I choose the wildflower cake design?
The wildflower cake design offers creative freedom and the ability to make a dessert truly yours. With different colors and types of flowers, this cake is completely customizable and versatile.
Beyond this personalization, though, wildflower cakes also have a natural beauty that is soft and romantic. They stand out without being overwhelming and are sophisticated enough to be appropriate for nearly every occasion.
Lastly, this cake design can reflect seasonal or symbolic messages—whether it's by using fresh and locally sourced wildflowers or intentionally choosing ones with sentimental value, your cake can be meaningful.
What are some ideas?
Wildflowers come in many different forms, which means there are many different ideas for the kind of design you might want to choose. Listed below are a few ideas to get you started:
The quintessential fresh wildflower cake is always a good pick. With a simple buttercream cake adorned with pesticide-free wildflowers, this cake looks straight from the garden and absolutely beautiful.
For a more tame look, pressed wildflowers are a great way to add a delicate touch to fondant or frosting. Pressed edible flowers are a great way to make this cake easy to eat and no fuss! For an even more delicious option: look for edible sugar wildflowers.
For those of you who still feel a bit iffy about adding real flowers to your cake, hand-painted wildflower cakes are a great way to add subtle detail.
As opposed to fresh wildflowers, dried florals can bring a rustic look to your cake. Whatever your style is, wildflowers have got your back.
