How to make a wedding floral cake topper?
You can find cake top floral containers at any cake supply store. They are usually white plastic with a well in them so that you can insert green floral foam and then then flowers stick into that. You might want to practice a few times before using artifical flowers to get the look that you want before using your real ones.





Good luck.
Reply:Most craft stores should have the base that you need. Sometimes the [silk] flowers are just laid on the cake. Depends on how fancy you want to get. Take a look here. This is a local shop. They make wonderful cakes as well.

Reply:You can buy a small cage like described in the first answer, or make life even easier and use the trick I do for some cakes. Take a small paper cup (about 2" in diameter) and trim it down to 1-2" high. Fill it with some wet floral foam (like oasis--go to a local florist and they should sell you a whole brick for less than a dollar). Soak the foam for atleast twenty minutes (an hour is better) cut the foam down with a regular kitchen knife and fill the cup so that there is about 1' of foam coming out of the top. Cover the foam/cup with greenery, but keep it pretty close to the base. You are trying to hide the entire cup with the greens. Then, insert your callas. If you are not used to arranging flowers I would suggest looking at a pic and trying to replicate it.





You can do just the topper, or place a few loose callas along the lower tiers. Remember if you have a limited number of flowerse that placing them in smaller groups has more effect than spreading them out everywhere, and that greenery can really dress it up alot. You may want to cover the base of the cake in it (slide several stems under the cake, or in the very base so that it looks like it is sitting on a bed of greens (leaves))/





Good Luck, and enjoy your wedding!
Reply:The easiest way is to simply place the flowers after the cake is made. If you are using real flowers, you need to place something underneath so the "juices" from the stems don't ruin the cake. For silk flowers, they can go straight on the cake. I made the cake for my sister's wedding last weekend and the top was decorated with silk flowers to mathc her bouquet. I actually inserted the stems into the cake so they wouldn't move.
