Florals – edible, hand-painted or lush botanicals! These delicate, rich and fun blooms will leave your guests awe-struck! With so many choices your head could spin but narrowing it down with a theme – bohemian, modern or classic- will make it a cake walk! However, if you are looking to keep up with the trends Floristsreview.com notes UK cake connoisseur, Rosalind Miller predicts that ‘traditional and prairie-style floral patterns will increase in demand, created in either hand-painted patterns or using real pressed flowers and petals.’
