By Grace Beuley Hunt, PureWow

For those of us who spend the summer months buying, Instagramming and otherwise swooning over hydrangea blooms (guilty, apologies), the latest in cake trends is basically our heaven. Meet the 3-D hydrangea cake, which is gracing preppy nuptials everywhere this season. Whether decorated with delicate fondant cutouts or fluffy buttercream frosting petals, one thing is for damn certain—these sugary showstoppers will give your wedding bouquet a run for its money.

The key to making these guys so lifelike? Rolled layers of icing in different colors.
