Will the cake look like to image on the website?
Yes... as close as possible.
This comes down to seasonal fresh flowers - we will only use the best, sometimes that means it's a different variety of flower.
Also, this is a hand made product, slight variations may occur.
If an item is replaced due to it being unavailable, the replace items value will be the same or higher than original. 

Can I choose the type of flowers? 
Unfortunately, I'm not mother nature (although that would be lovely) - they're chosen on colour and seasonal availability. These may change slightly from the image, however, we do our best to match the image you see.
