Elegant Flower Cakes

The Instructables Blog Shows How to Make Edible Mason Jar Treats

— June 2, 2012 — Lifestyle
This adorable project from the Instructables blog is not only beautiful to look at, but also delicious to eat. Everything is edible including the flowers, with the exception of the jar.

All you need to make these treats is some chocolate cake mix, chocolate icing, Oreo's and some edible flowers. Aside from the baking ingredients, you will need some mason jars, scissors and colorful ribbon. It's super easy to put these together as you simply bake the cakes in the jars and once cooled you cover them with chocolate icing.

To top it off you have to crush the Oreo's into small pieces and sprinkle it on top of the icing, which gives it the mud effect. Lastly, you add the edible flowers or plastic ones if you please to make it appear as if it's a flower pot. This is a great idea for Mother's Day or for any special occasion.
Trend Themes
1. Edible Flower Treats - Opportunity for bakeries and dessert shops to create unique and visually appealing treats using edible flowers.
2. DIY Cake Kits - Disruptive innovation possibility for baking supply companies to create DIY kits that include all the ingredients and instructions to make these elegant flower cakes.
3. Eco-friendly Packaging - Potential for packaging companies to develop sustainable and biodegradable alternatives to mason jars for presenting these flower cakes.
Industry Implications
1. Bakery - Bakeries can offer these elegant flower cakes as a specialty item, attracting customers with their unique design and use of edible flowers.
2. Baking Supply - Baking supply companies can capitalize on the trend by offering pre-packaged DIY kits that include all the necessary ingredients and instructions to make these edible flower treats.
3. Packaging - Packaging companies have an opportunity to create sustainable and environmentally-friendly alternatives to mason jars for presenting these flower cakes, appealing to consumers who prioritize eco-friendly packaging.
