Daisies are a perfect flower for a garden wedding in the summer. This innocent little flower, which is so popular, is actually a symbol of fidelity, so it is perfect for weddings. The color combination of white and a pop of yellow is lovely inspiration for a wedding cake.
Because these flowers are so readily available and inexpensive you can decorate your cake yourself if you wish. Have a simple white tiered cake made and place the daisies at the bottom of each tier to create a daisy chain effect. Scatter the daisies in a random pattern on each layer or create a little garden as a cake topper. Daisies aren't an edible flower; so make sure you remove them before you serve your guests. You can also get decorative sugar daisies if you don't want real flowers on your cake and have vases of daisies decorating the cake table.
The white and yellow color combination can be added to the flavor of your cake with a vanilla sponge cake with lemon filling, covered in hundreds of tiny, frosting daisies. Gerber daisies, which are a larger daisy than the traditional white and yellow, come in pink, orange, and red if you are looking to add a bolder look to your daisy theme and are available year round.
The first year was like icing.
Then the cake started to show through.
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
A new trend in wedding cakes is to have a cake of cupcakes. Have your cake decorator add little cupcakes between each tier and decorate them with frosting daisies to create an edible daisy chain on your cake. Or forgo the cake all together and just have the cupcakes! For a summer or a garden wedding, a delicate cupcake decorated with a sugar or frosting daisy would be divine!

Many people will say to working mothers, in effect, “I don’t think you can have it all.” The phrase for “have it all” is code for “have your cake and eat it too.” What these people really mean is that achievement in the workplace has always come at a price—usually a significant personal price; conversely, women who stayed home with their children were seen as having sacrificed a great deal of their own ambition for their families.
—Anne C. Weisberg (20th century)
