This one is built for the actual afternoon. A garden tea is a quiet, slow event. The teapot does most of the work. The cake's job is to look like it belongs in the picture, not to demand the picture. So we kept this one soft. Pink lisianthus instead of a regal red rose crown. Light vanilla sponge instead of a rich chocolate. Rustic buttercream instead of smooth ganache. The florals on top are cut that morning, which means by the time the tea is poured, the cake looks like it walked in from the garden five minutes ago.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe cake that arrives ready for the teapot, not the spotlight.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDelivery: Cape Town Same-Day Only\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Garden Tea Party Cake is freshly baked and the floral crown is cut fresh the same morning, so it delivers in Cape Town only, same-day on orders placed before 12pm Monday to Saturday.

The fresh florals are decorative — lift them off before slicing. The chocolate pearls are edible and can be served alongside. Store the cake at cool room temperature, away from direct sunlight. If the tea is the next day, refrigerate gently and bring it back to room temperature for about thirty minutes before slicing so the buttercream softens.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy Order From Fabulous Flowers\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFabulous Flowers and Gifts has been South Africa's go-to luxury florist and gifting house since 1999, with studios in Claremont and Sea Point. Our home bakery shares the studio with our florists, which is why the garden florals on top of the cake are cut from the same stems being arranged into bouquets next door.
