Your Guide to Spring Cake Styling

To ensure you get the best blooms available, here are a few tips for buying cut flowers, either for a beautiful vase in your entrance hall or for styling a Château Gâteaux cake for a special birthday or celebration:

  • Turn the bunch upside down. The stems should look freshly cut (white or green). The flowers are likely to be old if they are split, dark or curling.
  • Steer away from flowers not displayed in clean containers and fresh water. The only flowers that can be in muddy water are tulips.
  • Leaves start dying before flowers, so look for signs of yellowing or blotching as an indication of freshness. This is especially useful when buying chrysanthemums or lilies.
  • Many flower buds will open well in your vase, so choose a bunch with the fewest open flowers. A few flowers, like gerbera, need to be bought fully open.

Style our gorgeous Andrea’s Baked Cheesecake made with decadent, thick cream cheese, double cream and baked to perfection. It’s absolutely fabulous from frozen (as are all our cakes, of course!). Place it on a beautiful flat plate or board larger than the cake itself. Choose a theme colour, like shades of yellow, and find exciting spring flowers to make your Cheesecake pop. Fragrant freesias come in various rainbow colours, but their bright yellow spays are a stand-out. Place these in the centre of your cake arrangement, surrounded by pale yellow roses. Dot accents of white daisies, azalea blooms or white chocolate balls to finish your styling. Surround the plate with more freesias as their perfume will fill the room, and voila your creation is complete! Invite your guests to take their seats and serve them with a slice of spring.

Try your hand at styling our Chocolate Nostalgia with pinks or go for our deliciously moist Vanilla Dream that looks stunning in red!
