Make a Flower Birthday Cake

Give a flower birthday cake to that special someone when the occassion arises. Here are some ideas for flower birthday cakes. All the flowers are made out of buttercream. These flower cakes are not only limited for birthdays, make them for mother's day, bridal showers or just because.

For most of these cakes the general instructions are found in this article on all buttercream flower cakes.

With tip # 18, make the leaves on the edge of the cake.

Make roses using tip # 104 peach buttercream and place a few around the cake.

Make yellow chrysanthemums with tip # 81.

With tip # 104 and pink buttercream, make five-petal flowers around the cake. Use round tip # 2 to make some three dots in the center of the flowers.

Using the same pink icing but using tip # 2 this time, pipe a line of dots on the some of the leaves as pictured.

Using the same tip#104, I piped a ribbon and a bow around the bottom part of the cake.

I used the same tip#10 with purple buttercream to pipe a cluster of dots resembling grapes.

With tip# 104 and light yellow buttercream, pipe a cluster of petals on the empty spaces.

Finish off by piping leaves using tip#67. Pipe some small curly vines using tip#1 or 2.

Using tip#61 and purple buttercream, pipe clusters of petals.

With tip#104 pipe pink blossoms and add yellow dots in the middle with tip#2.

For the daffodils, use yellow buttercream. For the base, use leaf tip #67 and pipe 6 leaf-like petals in a circle. Next, using round tip # 10, pipe in circles building up the middle of the flower. Then with round tip # 3, pipe a squiggly line on top of it in a circle.
