Happy Valentine’s Day!
Maybe it’s because we’re dieting, but this Valentine’s Day, I’m not in the mood for flowers. Instead, all I can think about are these stunning flower cakes by U.K. baker Amy Swann.
“I am motivated to create beautiful objects inspired by things that I love. Growing up in the Welsh countryside, immersed in nature, has had a major impact on my work. Seeing flowers in their natural habitat, set in little country lanes, around waterfalls and wild mountains, I have an inherent understanding of the balance of nature and seasons and their unique magical qualities. I create flowers individually, line them up and then spend time on the composition as a florist would, putting a bouquet or arrangement together. It’s about the balance of light, shade, texture and scale.”
So who’s up for cake?

Len and I had a very informal beach wedding. My friend made us her amazing carrot cake, and I wanted to put flowers on it. I got a bunch of beautiful flowers, and started “arranging” them all over the cake. It did not look like these. 😉 It ended up looking like a giant mound of smushed flowers. But it sure was yummy! (Once you took all those flowers off….) Happy Valentine’s Day to you and your beloved! We miss you guys!! ❤️

Oh my. Cutting into something as beautiful as these just doesn’t seem right. I am a little confused though. Are they real flowers or does she make them out of fondant etc,

These cakes are gorgeous. I had flowers on my wedding cake rather than a wedding topper.

We didn’t have a cake, but I’m sure we would have gone the flower route if we’d gone that way.

Wow! I could never hope to produce a cake that beautiful or a flower arrangement that wonderful and certainly never both in combination.

They’re pretty incredible! I love that the artist creates the flowers first, then arranges them as a florist would. So meticulous!

These are stunning! Though as a former baker, I hated working with flowers, I much preferred the fondant edible kind ;p ❤
