Have you ever looked at a cake with flowers on top and thought about possible hygiene issues? Or have you just wondered how they did that? There hasn't been any kind of industry standard, but the new CakeVase would not be a bad start.Most of the time, decorators just put a plate on top of the cake with a floral arrangement on that. One problem with that is the plate may be too heavy. Also, you have no way water the flowers, so you may have some wilting by the end of the day. And no one recommends sticking flowers directly into a cake.There are ways around these problems without the CakeVase of course, but this gadget really does appear to make the task pretty easy, clean, and hygienic.
The website has more information and examples, as well as links to where it can be purchased. It's not too pricey, either. You get three vases for $13.93. There are two sizes of the regular vase, and one that's a ring so you can have flowers just around the edge. The CakeVase can help easily add a touch of elegance to your next cake.

I bought this product from QVC.com and I absolutely love it! I have already used it several times over the holidays and for a birthday party (I baked two of the cakes myself and bought the others from my grocery store's bakery). I don't consider myself to be artistic, but it's amazing how little time it takes to make a professional-looking cake with the CakeVase. So many people commented on how beautiful my cakes were, and they took so little time to decorate! I've only used store-bought bouquets so far, but I can't wait to use flowers from my garden this spring!

I purchased several sets of the cakevase from QVC, and am extremely pleased with the product. During the holidays, I took a cake decorated with the cakevase, and an additional one that I left with the hostess as a present. She called me and thanked me over and over for it; she has gotten so much use - and compliments. What a GREAT product!
