I had to do my first flower swoop on a wedding cake today and I was really nervous I found your video last night. I just wanted you to know how much it helped me!
Great tutorial! Got right to the point, and was very informative! You got your self another subscriber! Looking forward to seeing other videos you have!
Hi, thank you for sharing this tutorial! I learned a lot for sure. A question though, how far in advance can I put the flowers on? Like if I need the cake delivered on Saturday 3pm, when is the best time to add the flowers?
Mom_of_3 boys flowers should always be placed as last minute as possible. So ideally right before or after you deliver the cake you can put in the flowers. I do it at the venue most of the time.
hey! love your video, planning on making it for my wedding in 10 days but was wondering how far ahead can the cake be made? fro example i was planning on baking my cake 2 days before and coating with a simple syrup and then assembling and frosting the night before? do you think the cake will dry out or be okay? your help would br greatly appriciated! xxx
Hi! Ok so you can actually make this and assemble a few days in advance. I would let the cake chill and the icing get stiff (maybe an hour or so in the fridge) then wrap each tier with an acrylic sheet to keep the cake from drying out. You can also coat with an edible glaze spray, if you have a local cake decorating supply they should have pme glaze spray. This will help the crust showing not to dry out. So you could assemble a few days before the wedding. You could even use plastic wrap but you will have to touch up the icing where the cling wrap makes “wrinkles.” Definitely put your flowers on last. I would assemble at least a day in advance so you aren’t stressed if something goes wrong. If your making a bigger cake check out my diy wedding cake video. Good luck!!!
Even if the flower are technically edible they aren’t “food grade” unless they are sold at a restaurant supply. Which is usually only small garnish flowers. The flowers you get at a grocery or from a florist will have been soaking up fertilizer and chemical water. Covering prevents contaminating the cake with gross fertilizer water.
Kareen Waters depends of the flower. I was being lazy and they do not have a thick stem for draining into be cake. Ideally all would be covered like I tell you to do in the video.
Nigel Walsh very true. That is why you don’t eat the tape, or the cake boards for that matter. Also why I said you can use drinking straws for added protection.
I thought baby’s breath is toxic? I’ve seen articles that say don’t use it and then I see people using it. Help! My bride wants it on her cake this coming weekend 🙏
It is! I just learned this recently. People use it all the time anyway because it’s cheap. I thought it was fine to use because that’s the way I was taught by a big wedding cake bakery I worked for. I recommend plastic or sugar baby’s breath or a safe alternative. Just send her references to it being toxic
Yeah, I thought she was sticking in the baby's breath straight into the cake, but if you watch carefully you can see she's putting them where the straws already are.
Loved the video very simple and beautiful, the tutorial is short, clear and to the point, not a lot of talking or confusion.
Thank you! I appreciate your feedback 💕
I have watched many naked cake tutorials and yours was the easiest to understand. Thank you for sharing! 😊
April thank you!

Do you have a list of flower that are safe to use as decoration for cake? Thanks!
Selina S I recommend this guide shanissweetart.com/safely-decorating-cakes-with-fresh-flowers/
Amazing! Right to the point and very helpful. I will attempt to make for my sons 1st Holy Communion. Thank you!!! Subscribing now😍
Loved it just wondering about how many straws you used and if you used straws for flowers on the sides
Could you give the recipe or suggest one for the cake & BC Frosting?
Gypsophila is toxic...but you cut it and put is straight into the cake.
Or is your Gypsophila different ?
Crumbs went into the clean frosting in the bowl, me: 😱
Lol that was funny
Love your work!
Thank you! 💕
So pretty!
I’m looking for basic vanilla cake recipe for layer cake, can you make an tutorial for it?? Thanks

How beautiful!!! great video!!
Sbean thank you!
Amazing video.
Thank you!
I have always been told never to use, baby breath, toxic. Is this true?
Do you put some flowers with tape on them directly into the cake?
Abrady Brady I use straws as well.
Ty great video👍
You’re welcome!
Love it! And how much time do the flowers stay fresh?
On the cake? at least a day so you have plenty of time to set the cake up for an event.
Can the flowers go into the fridge once on the cake?
For a short time, yes.

You taped the bigger flowers stem with floral tape what about the fillers as they are very thin stem what you did to them ?
Floral tape, straws or both 💕
Hey, was the cake cooled, frosted and eaten all in the same day?
KiAnna Price doesn’t have to be. I usually bake one day then frost & fill the next.
do you take the flowers off before or after cutting??
Before
Could you use a sponge cake for this?
Any cake that browns nicely on the outside will work 💕
Beautiful thanks for sharing..new sub
What brand of tape did you use to wrap the flowers stems? And tubing?
Gloria Abella Wilton for both
Absolutely gorgeous! But I don't understand why everyone says to cover the flowers even if the flowers are edible? What's the danger there?
Even if the flower are technically edible they aren’t “food grade” unless they are sold at a restaurant supply. Which is usually only small garnish flowers. The flowers you get at a grocery or from a florist will have been soaking up fertilizer and chemical water. Covering prevents contaminating the cake with gross fertilizer water.
Can the petals of the flower touch the cake? The white looking flowers how come there wasn’t tap on them?
Kareen Waters depends of the flower. I was being lazy and they do not have a thick stem for draining into be cake. Ideally all would be covered like I tell you to do in the video.
how far in advance can the flowers be arranged on the cake, 24 hours?
As close to putting the cake out as you can. The longer they go without water the faster they die.
What size are you using for the cake?
A 5” and 7” most of my pans are 3” deep
I want to try to make this
Do it! There are so pretty :D
Did you put straws for every flower?!
Starliner M. Batista Arias you should. You can make bunches so you don’t have to use as many straws.
@@TheSugarScoop Thank you so much! This is so helpful!
for how many people does it reach? 😁
About 30 people
Is that tape food safe?
Nigel Walsh non toxic. Feel free to use more straws as added protection.
@@TheSugarScoop non toxic and food safe are different. Just because something is non toxic doesn't meant you should consume it.
Nigel Walsh very true. That is why you don’t eat the tape, or the cake boards for that matter. Also why I said you can use drinking straws for added protection.
@@TheSugarScoop Jeese, ok calm down!
Nigel Walsh Well, we wouldn’t want anyone getting confused and eating the tape now would we?

Saranno anche belle ma saranno dei mattoni da mangiare
Nooooo, nooooo...... layers are way to thick.......
I did that to make it easier , but cakes can be sliced again for an additional filling layer 👍
Not very food safe. You cannot just stick the stem into a cake.
MARIA Webster I clearly state not too. And to use straws as extra protection.
3:44 🗣🙉
Yeah, I thought she was sticking in the baby's breath straight into the cake, but if you watch carefully you can see she's putting them where the straws already are.
So pretty!
