Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Things You’ll Need:

Round decorated cake
Wire wreath form
Floral garland (to match the cake)
Floral tape
Cake pedestal (optional)

Step1

Select a wire wreath form four inches bigger than the diameter of your cake; if you use a cake pedestal, it should be about six inches bigger than the diameter of the cake.

Step2

Next take your floral garland, and using some floral tape, secure the end of the garland to the wire wreath form, and start winding the garland tightly around the wire form, not leaving any open spaces around the wire wreath.

Step3

Once your garland is totally around the wire form, tape the other end of the garland to the wire in an inconspicuous spot. Arrange the position of the flowers so that you don't have any bare spots. Voila! Place the wreath around your cake on the cake plate or pedestal.

Tips & Warnings

Start out with a six-foot garland so that you have more than enough to circle the form.
You can attach any extra flowers with floral wire or tape, and let them drape over the edge of the cake pedestal for an even more dramatic effect.
