Have you ever wondered how all the great cake designers make the gorgeous floral pieces on top of their cakes? Well, they are using a CakeVase! It’s as easy as 1-2-3!

By using inexpensive flowers from the grocery store or flowers from the garden, homemade or store bought cake and a little creativity, it is easy for anyone to create a festive and personal centerpiece.

CakeVase is a fun, easy tool used to create stunning, customized cakes in minutes. It keeps flowers and greenery fresh and keeps them safely away from a cake. It allows anyone to create gorgeous, custom cakes for every occasion – quickly and affordably.

The CakeVase is a dishwasher safe item (top shelf only), clear, food safe plastic (clarified polypropylene), that stacks compactly and it comes in a set of three to fit on standard 6” and 8” inch cakes and any size sheet cake. The set includes a 5.5” plate, a 7.5” plate and a 7.5” ring. You can use your CakeVase again and again!

If you want, you can replace the flowers in the middle with candles. That looks awesome, too! You could even attach a “Happy Birthday” baloon. Just use your imagination to create an “Ah” moment! And don’t forget to take a picture! You can send your picture to CakeVase.com to be added to the photo gallery!

The CakeVase is available online at Amazon for $19.96.

“This was a three tiered cake. The bottom layer was lemon, the middle was vanilla with strawberry jam and the top was chocolate mud with ganache. The cookie on top was vanilla. I hand painted the roses and details. This was my first painted cake and I’m really pleased with how it came out. It was for my husbands step-sister as our birthday present to her. She was really pleased with it and didn’t want to cut it, so went home from her party with roughly 70 portions of cake!”

Absolutely fantastic cake! Check it out!
