With Valentine’s Day approaching, it’s the right time to plan the perfect day. You may have selected a bouquet, perhaps some chocolates, and a cuddly bear. Another great surprise for your Valentine is something beautiful and delicous like a romantically decorated cake.
The first thing you will need to do is choose the right cake. We all have different tastes and preferences which is why it’s so important consider those of your Valentine rather than your own. For example, no matter how much you love strawberry, if your Valentine prefers chocolate, then it’s better to choose a chocolate cake.
The next step is to choose between baking your own cake and having one made. No matter which option you choose, remember that the decorating is still up to you. So, if you order a cake from a bakery, you should make sure that you ask them not to decorate.
Since flowers are so commonly associated with Valentine’s day, it makes sense that flowers are also great for decorating Valentine’s Day cakes. The types of flowers and the number of blooms you need will depend on the size of the cake. The larger the cake, the more flowers you will need and the larger they can be. That said, if you choose a smaller cake, you could decorate it with a single, large flower.
You will also need to decide on a colour scheme for your cake. Red roses or red flowers would be an ideal option. Alternatively, you could choose pink flowers. You could even use a combination of red, pink, and white flowers. As for the types of flowers you choose, there are a number of options including roses and various forms of daisies.
Fresh flowers can be used provided they are not toxic and you choose flowers that don’t have too much pollen or you can ask your florist to remove the pollen for you. Alternatively, you could use silk flowers or even edible flowers instead. Many stores sell ready made sugar paste flowers which makes it that much easier to achieve the perfect design for your cake.
Finally, you can also add other decorative accents like hearts to give your cake even more style and colour. If you decorate the margin of the cake with flowers, you will still have enough space to write a special message on the middle of the cake.
