Isn't the cake everything? When I was planning my daughter's birthday party I just saw flowers on the cake like this in my mind and designed the party around them. They were pretty amazing on the glittered edible polka dotted fondant cake.

I couldn't get the gold and rose gold flowers out of my head too. I wanted the party to be fun with a touch of elegance. This was probably the last birthday I would have the only say in and why not go all out?! Ha!
