    What are Sugar Flowers?

    ✨ Sugar flowers are hand-crafted decor for your wedding cake, birthday cake, or other celebration cake!

    ✨ They are made from edible materials like sugar, egg whites, corn starch, potato starch, etc.

    ✨ They also contain non-edible, non-toxic materials like floral wire, floral tape, styrofoam centers, cotton or plastic stamens, etc.

    ✨ Though sugar flowers are made with some edible ingredients, they are not to be eaten and are to be enjoyed for their beauty and artistry!

    ✨ You can remove the sugar flowers to use as keepsakes after your event. Simply wipe them clean with a dry or damp paper towel and store them away from UV light, humidity, and heat. Look for archival quality acrylic storage boxes to display them!

    Can you ship directly to my cake decorator or vendor?

    Yes! When checking out, you can input the shipping address of your cake vendor or decorator to have the flowers sent directly to them. Just make sure to coordinate with your vendor so they know to expect the delivery.

    If you’re ordering custom sugar flowers, I can also coordinate directly with your baker for delivery.

    How should I store sugar flowers until my event?

    Store the flowers in their original packaging (or another sealed box) in a cool, dry area, away from direct sunlight. Avoid humid environments (like refrigerators) to keep them looking flawless.

    Can I order now even if my event is months away?

    Yes, absolutely!

    You can place your order now to secure your flowers at the current price (including any sales).

    On the flower’s product page, choose a delivery date closer to your event, and I’ll ship the flowers accordingly. I recommend selecting a date that is at least 1 week before your event.

    Is it safe to ship sugar flowers? what if they break?

    I’ve shipped thousands of flowers since I started my shop, and I’ve found the best way to safely package your flowers is with lots of padding and fragile stickers! I’ve had very few packages arrive damaged. However, I can’t guarantee what happens at the post office once I drop off your order. I always recommend ordering far in advance to account for damage or delays, and to order extra flowers if you’re in a time crunch. In the unlikely event that your flowers are damaged during shipping, please contact me and we’ll work together to figure out if you need a replacement or a refund.

    How do you ship Sugar Flowers?

    I ship all orders through USPS or UPS. Each package is carefully packed up by me to ensure a safe trip for your delicate-but-durable Sugar Flowers. There is lots of soft padding to keep your flowers safe!

    How long does shipping take?

    The standard shipping takes 2-5 business days to arrive. All in-stock flowers ship within 2 business days. For flowers that are made to order, you can expect them to ship within 2 weeks from placing your order

    Do you offer local pickup options?

    Yes, if you live in the Tampa Bay area, local pickup is available. You can select this option when checking out. After you order, I’ll be in touch to coordinate a pickup date and location.

    Can I request a specific delivery date?

    Yes! I do my best to accommodate specific delivery dates but additional fees may be added for rushed orders. Please select your estimated delivery date on the product page prior to adding to your cart!

    Reviews for Sugar Flowers by Kelsie Cakes

    Kelsie Cakes has received over 1,000 5-star reviews! 🎉

    Hey, I’m Kelsie! I’m the sugar artist who makes every flower and every petal ave every leaf you see in my site!

    I’ve been making sugar flowers since 2007 and started my shop, Sugar Flowers by Kelsie Cakes, in 2015 on Etsy. This isn’t a side hustle, though, this little business has truly grown!

    I specialize only in creating handcrafted sugar flowers for wedding cakes. No cake baking, no fondant sea coral (never again), just beautiful, durable, botanically inspired sugar flowers.

    I make every flower by hand in my Florida studio using gumpaste I mix myself in small batches.

    These flowers are designed to look stunning, ship safely, and be easy to place on your cake—whether you’re a baker prepping for five weddings on Saturday or a couple planning a personal, thoughtful, super fun and super meaningful celebration.

    My goal is to make you sugar flowers to turn your cake into the floral garden of your dreams! And that show up ready to go so there’s one less thing to stress about on the wedding timeline.

    And if you’ve ever whispered “I should’ve just ordered the flowers” while elbow-deep in gumpaste at 1 a.m., I made these for you.😉

How to Unwrap Your Sugar Flowers

For Sugar Flowers with individually wired petals, like open roses, peonies, cosmos, and orchids

When your flower is shipped to you, it will be tightly closed up.
Kind of like how a real flower would ship in bud form!
But instead of sticking in some warm water to help it open up
(don't do that!!) →
unwrap the foam then carefully pull each petal away from the center 
The flexible floral wire stem will bend so the petals can open up!

if you're thinking...

Decorating cakes for a living isn’t for the faint of heart
(no matter how glamorous Netflix tries to make it look)—
you work looooong nights and weekends and spend
so many thankless hours in the kitchen.

→ Even when the spotlight is on your cake at the wedding...
→ Even when your cake tastes as incredible as it looks...
→ Even when you’re featured in national bridal magazines...

it ain’t easy!

I see you, small business owner feeling
overworked and overwhelmed,
trying to do allthethings.

I don’t want you settling for less-than-amazing
cake decorations just because
other suppliers let you down.
