Transforming Traditions
Just over 20 years ago, the flower cake we know and love was just a mere thought! At the time, 1800Flowers.com had just introduced the Holiday Flower Tree®. As one of the first 3-D sculpture arrangements, this Christmas tree flower configuration revolutionized the way people thought about flower arrangements, and met immediate success. From that moment, flower specialists knew they were on to something. They began searching for other opportunities to bring classic symbols to life; this time, focusing on one that can be sold year round.
With careful thought, the company chose the birthday cake - after all, there's hundreds of birthdays everyday! And, what better way to develop this flavorful floral design than with a competitive 'bake-off?' Member florists were invited to submit ideas and designs. Finally, a winner, who's realistic floral layer cake looked good enough to eat, was chosen! Like its holiday predecessor, this arrangement received lots of praise and became a continuous favorite.
Getting Better with Age
For years, the Floral Cake has been serving up birthday surprises! But, now, there's more to look forward to than more candles.
