'May Showers' Cake - Made My Bakers Box
Most of you can agree that one of the best parts of May are the beautiful blooming flowers. In celebration of the May flowers and my Mother's birthday/ Mother's Day I decided to do a flower wreath cake.
If you haven't yet heard of a flower wreath cake, it's simply a cake decorated with buttercream flowers in the shape of a wreath as seen in the picture. Of course I took it a step further by painting a grassy border for a fun Spring scenery. I was inspired by this Months Bakers Box which had baby blue frosting, sugar lady bugs sprinkles, sugar honey bee sprinkles, green fondant and other fun goodies.
You'll Need:
Cake (fully prepped and ready)
Gel Dye: Blue, Green, Yellow, Red or Pink, Brown
Edible sugar ladybugs and bees
Paint Brush
Flower Nail
Parchment or Waxed Paper cut into squares
Cake Scrape/ Bench Scraper
