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.
