I chanced upon Ecofleurs while searching for preserved flowers that would last past 1-2 weeks without dying. As it was a gift for someone special, I thought it would be more meaningful to buy something that actually last. Thank God for Ecofleurs, currently an e-shop that sells preserved flowers that last 1-2 years if properly maintained. They are currently my number one go to for pretty flowers now and I’m so thankful that they named this pretty bloombox after sherbakes. It’s called the Sherbakes Bloombox. If you like to view more of their collection, you can visit their facebook.
The next cake is baked specially for my Aunt’s birthday. I took some inspiration from the flower box and decided to incorporate this into the cake. The base cake is a cheesecake since my aunt is such a big fan of cheese. I decided to do some ombre layering on the otherwise plain white cake. BTW this is a non-baked cake, so it’s pretty easy to do the layering.
For the décor on the top, I piped small blobs of cream cheese frosting along the edge of the cake. Using the back of a spoon, press the blobs halfway and drag them into the centre of the cake making a teardrop effect. To finish the cake, I sprinkled some rose petals in the middle to represent the middle portion of a flower.
