Floral foam cylinders are commonly referred to as "cake foam" by professional florists. Their round shape is the foam used to create the famous "flower cakes" that you see in advertisements by companies such as 1800flowers.com.
I made many of those cakes for my customers when working at the flower shop! But these handy little cylinders of foam also can be used in round bowl arrangements, in
O'Bowl Flower Containers
(which make fabulous
pew decorations
) and fit perfectly in silver or gold bowls on top of tall wedding centerpieces.
These cylinders come in different sizes and are made of OASIS® Standard Floral Foam. There is no cutting or shaping required and therefore less waste.
Cylinder foam is ideal for mugs, round baskets and round wedding containers and of course the famous birthday cake of flowers.
