Do not poke the flowers directly onto cakes. Instead, use special flower spikes or flower holders that are available from cake decorating stores to hold your wedding cake flowers

Keep fresh flowers away from direct sunlight and heat

There are a whole lot of different types of flowers and colours that you can get with silk flowers. In fact, silk flowers work well as quick wedding cake decorations as all you need to do with silk flowers is to frost a wedding cake and arrange your flowers on it.
