Succulents are no strangers at weddings: The earth-toned plants have long been popular floral decor, matching a variety of themes and styles. Whether succulents are used as a wedding favor, in centerpieces and bouquets, or on top of wedding cakes, they always stand out in the best way possible. But thanks to a new cake trend on social media, you don’t have to just place succulents on your cake—they can be piped on with frosting, similar to how buttercream roses are made. (If you have your heart set on frosting succulents, just make sure your baker knows how to do them first—some variations are trickier than others.) Expect your guests to do a double—or triple—take at how real they look.
Scroll through these beauties below and get some succulent inspo for your own nuptials.

A garden of buttercream succulents + peach peonies on blush stucco. 🌵🌾🌷🌿While succulents may not be as dainty or frilly as flowers, I still think they are just as beautiful 💛 #buttercreamcake #succulentgarden #succulentlove

A duo of sugar succulents for an upcoming wedding show piece. I’m grateful for how often I get to let my inner botanical geek out. Oh echeveria, I love you so! 💛 #sugarsucculents #echeveria #weddingcake #adornments

I wanted to keep this cake to myself so badly! At least I can be content knowing it went to someone who loves succulents as much as I do. Any friend of succulents is a friend of mine.🌱🍃🌿🌵🌿🌾#succulentgarden #happyplace #buttercreamcake

Though I’d much prefer to be tending to my actual succulents right now on this rainy day (while wearing my jammies, drinking coffee, and giving lovies to my sick kitty) piping dozens of buttercream succulents will just have to do! This is a first round of many. Wish me luck! 🌵#buttercream #succulents #succulentlove #worksuccs #getit #seewhatididthere #succsforyou
