Made this cake for my sis’ milestone birthday that we celebrated this past weekend. This is my first cake utilizing a floral spray! Have always loved cakes that had lovely florals and never did one as I was never very happy with the overall look of my sugar flowers. I decided to mix my own stylized sugar versions of real flowers (peony & ranunculus) with some fantasy flowers just because I’ve always liked the mixed look that I’ve seen done by others.

I wanted to use Spring-like colours with a modern & trendy geometric pattern to reflect my sis’ personal style. I saw a colour palette that I loved on Design Seeds (see last photo) and decided to use a slightly brighter version of that for my colour scheme. The geometric pattern on the bottom tier was inspired by the popular tiling pattern that is often used. I made the octagon cutouts using my square cutter. I will be doing a quick tip pictorial soon and uploading to my FB page and here in a few days.

My sis loved the cake and felt it reflected her personality perfectly.
