Tiara Cake
Plastic tiara tied to cake board. I wrapped the fresh flowers in ribbon, and secured "take home bouquet" to topper. Silver balls are floral picks from Michaels. I'm sure this has been done a million times, but I don't generally work with flowers. I had no idea what I was doing at 11:30pm..but it all came together. The little girl went nuts. This was a "gift" to her. It was awesome to see her dance around with her tiara and flowers.
