DIY Floral Birthday Cake: Full Product List

For my mom’s 60th birthday this year, I made a purple velvet cake (red velvet except it’s purple) with buttercream frosting and decorated it with her favorite flowers…lil’ pansies and violas! This was such an easy cake to decorate and I love how it turned out. It is perfect for a spring birthday, Mother’s Day or a garden party! Here’s what I used to make this happen.
