Cherry Blossoms are one of my favorite flowers!
The cherry blossom season is almost here; The Washington D.C National Park Service officially announced that peak bloom will likely occur sometime during the period of April 11-14. If you have ever had the opportunity to walk down the tidal basin during peak bloom the aroma and visual beauty is breathe-taking.
Normally flower paste cherry blossoms would be a filler blossom for a cake topper spray arrangement, however I took a little creative license and designed the entire spray as the focal point to this wedding cake. To add a bit more dramatic look I hand painted the
cake with matching cherry blossoms. By adding cherry blossom edible scented powder to my petals the entire cake
became a delicious aromatic dream!
