Grocery store cakes are typically inexpensive and pretty delicious, but their designs can be a little dubious.

But this tutorial from A Practical Wedding shows how to make a store-bought sheet cake more Pinterest-worthy.

1. Scrape off any 3D frosting items (like balloons or flowers).

2. Cover the spot where the 3D decorations were with one to two large real flowers (preferably organic/pesticide-free and most definitely not poisonous).

3. Wrap the perimeter of the cake with a wide decorative ribbon.

4. Behold your extreme cakeover.

The original tutorial suggests making this for a budget wedding, but it would really work for everything from a bridal shower to a birthday gathering to an office party.

If you want to create a more elegant look, go with round grocery store cakes and put them on pretty cake stands.

The upgraded cake looks so celebratory and fun.
