Flowers on wedding cakes? Tell us something new. Since as far back as we can remember, wedding cakes with floral decorations have been the norm. So why get excited about yet more flowers on cakes?

Because these are so cool and sharp and funky that they can't be ignored.

Cake designers nowadays are constantly looking for new ways to create confectionery masterpieces, and floral embellishments have undergone a major overhaul but mostly, as lovely as they all are, there hasn't been anything terribly contemporary and sharp. Until recently, that is.

Emerging from the pastel prettiness are some rather bold, modern and somewhat retro flower designs that get a huge thumbs up from us. Designers and bakers such as Bijoux Doux, Maisie Fantaisie, Sugar-Couture, I Dream Of Cake, Jim Smeal and Lovin Sullivan Cakes never fail to deliver on interesting designs and we simply love their contemporary takes on florals.
