Are Their Secrects To Adding Silk Flowers To A Butter Cream Wedding Cake?
My Mother In Law Is Making A Homemade Butter Cream Wedding Cake And Wants To Add Silk Flowers To Match Her Bouquet But Wants To Know If There Is A Certain Way To Add These Flowers.
Hi there! You don't have to make your own icing flowers in order for the cake to look spectactular. You can use fresh flowers or silk flowers!
I took this idea from a book: Decorating Cakes: A reference and Idea Book. It's by the Wilton School and they sell it at Michaels. If your mother in law wants to see an illustrated view of what's going on, tell her to get the 40% off coupon from her Sunday paper and buy this book. It's cheaper that way!
Silk flowers arranged in a crystal-look bowl are a beautiful alternative to fresh and the arrangement becomes a lasting reminder of our spectacular cake. Assemble using floral foam designed for dry arrangements.
You'll need a nice, lightweight plastic bowl and floral foam from your local arts and crafts store.
Place the foam inside of the bowl, perhaps secure the foam with a little bit of double stick tape, and arrange the flowers by pushing stems into foam. Position the bowl on the cake.
--------------
Now, if you're just putting individual flowers on the cake and they don't have stems, there are things called flower spikes that you can buy at Michaels and attach to the flowers. You could use a hot glue gun, etc.
If you have stems, make sure that there are no pointy edges that can poke you when taken out, and you can put them on the cake that way, by inserting the stem.
