Cake Flower: Inspired by Flavors and Textures of Nature

Overlooking the Augustus Terrace, this display is simple and striking in its blend of elegant florals and modern design. Crème de la Crème’s three-tiered cake is embossed with a gorgeous three-dimensional diamond pattern that brings texture and a sense of the contemporary to the design. In a creative twist, Belles and Whistles encircle the cake with Pieris japonica, or Japanese lavender heath, an evergreen shrub whose beauty is enhanced here by tiny bell-shaped buds that perfectly complement the cake’s plum tone. Crème de la Crème’s lemon raspberry cake features four layers of lemon cake filled with citron and raspberry buttercream.

Against the backdrop of The Grand Lawn, Belles and Whistles creates a romantic scene by suspending Sift & Gather’s chic confection on a floral-filled swing. Sift & Gather’s classic honey vanilla cake with vanilla buttercream is a true delight. The striking two-tiered cake is wrapped in a cascade of ruffles painstakingly created from wafer paper below a smooth-coated top tier. The verdant arrangement of peach and pink florals features hydrangeas, jasmine vine, chrysanthemums, scabiosa and garden roses, forming a stunning base for the cake.
