Ingredients

  • 1 whole store-bought vanilla cake
  • 1 cup white frosting
  • 2 tablespoons dried edible flowers
  • 4 sprigs fresh eucalyptus leaves
  • 6 whole macarons

Instructions

  1. 1

    Place the 1 store-bought vanilla cake on a serving plate. Spread 1 cup white frosting evenly over the top and sides with a spatula, creating a smooth finish.

  2. 2

    Arrange 6 macarons around the top edge of the cake, spacing them evenly. Press gently so they stick to the frosting.

  3. 3

    Scatter 2 tablespoons dried edible flowers over the top of the cake, filling the center and between the macarons.

  4. 4

    Tuck 4 sprigs of fresh eucalyptus leaves around the base of the macarons and flowers, pushing the stems into the frosting to hold them in place.

  5. 5

    Chill the cake for 10 minutes to set the frosting before serving.
