At least 48 hours’ notice is required. This allows time to paint the face illustration and prepare the fresh flowers. During peak seasons, placing your order earlier is strongly recommended.

Yes. The florist will select seasonal blooms that suit the design, but if you have preferred colours or specific flowers, let us know and we’ll do our best to include them. Flower availability may vary by season.
Are the flowers on the Floral Face Cake edible?
No, the flowers are real and intended for decoration. While pesticide-free, they should be removed before serving the cake.
How should I store the Floral Face Cake before the event?
Refrigerate the cake for three to four hours before serving. This ensures the buttercream remains firm and the flowers stay fresh. Allow the cake to reach room temperature before cutting.
