One of our favorite ways to embrace the signs of spring is through a wedding cake.  Have lots of pastel color floral arrangements surrounding the cake.  They called it "the meadow of flowers".

"Spring is here and let's talk about floating cakes. Sometimes you may not have a huge guest count or even want a big cake but tiers are life.  Floating cakes are a touch of illusion and truly elevate your cake to the next level."
