Buttercream Blooms

Buttercream Blooms: The Cape Town Birthday Bundle With Flowers, Cake and Balloons

One mixed birthday bouquet hand-tied by our florists in pink gerberas, pink and peach roses, cream and pink lisianthus, yellow chrysanthemums and lilac scabiosa, delivered alongside one home-baked buttercream-iced cake topped with fresh pink lisianthus and chocolate pearls, and a trio of pink balloons. The whole birthday landing on the doorstep in one go. Buttercream Blooms is built for the moment you do not want to send "just" flowers — you want the whole birthday to walk in the door at once. Hand-finished the morning of dispatch by our florists and home bakers in our Claremont studio. Available for same-day Cape Town delivery on orders placed before 12pm Monday to Saturday.

What Is In the Buttercream Blooms Bundle

• Mixed birthday bouquet hand-tied that morning by our florists in pink gerberas, pink and peach roses, cream and pink lisianthus, yellow chrysanthemums and lilac scabiosa. The palette is bright, happy and pulled together (no clashing).
• Home-baked buttercream cake a soft vanilla sponge with a rustic buttercream finish, topped with fresh pink lisianthus, a small pink rose and pale chocolate pearls. Same cake that anchors our Garden Tea Party Cake range.
• Pink balloon trio three pink helium balloons (one hot pink, two soft pink) tied with white ribbon. They make the front door look like a birthday before the recipient has even opened it.
• Hand-tied and ribbon-wrapped the bouquet arrives wrapped in our signature kraft and cream paper. The cake arrives on a white plate. Balloons arrive inflated and tied.

The exact flower mix rotates with what is at peak in our studio each morning, but Buttercream Blooms always stays in its bright birthday palette (pink, peach, yellow, lilac, cream). For boy birthdays, baby blue balloon swaps or specific colour requests, mention it at checkout or email hello@fabulousflowers.co.za.

When To Send the Buttercream Blooms Bundle

This is the all-in-one birthday gift. It is built for the people who cannot be there in person and want the front door to do the work for them. For a girlfriend, wife, sister, mum, daughter or best friend's birthday in Cape Town, browse the wider birthday flowers, birthday bouquet and happy birthday flowers ranges. For a broader gift mix at the same celebratory tier, see our birthday gifts range, or our birthday gifts for her selection if you are sending to a woman. For the cake on its own (without the bouquet), browse our cakes range. For cupcakes instead, see cupcakes. Buttercream Blooms takes the guesswork out of birthday gifting and lets one delivery cover all three.

Why the Bundle Beats Sending Flowers Alone

One bouquet on the doorstep is lovely. A bouquet plus a cake plus three pink balloons is a party that walked in by itself. There is a moment when a courier knocks, the door opens, and the whole birthday is just there — the flowers, the cake on a plate, three balloons bobbing above. That moment is what Buttercream Blooms is designed for. It is the gift for the long-distance friend who could not fly down, the work colleague who could not make the lunch, the husband who is travelling on the day, the daughter who is in another suburb. One delivery, the whole celebration handled.

The bundle that turns one knock at the door into the whole birthday.

Add More If You Want To Go Bigger

Buttercream Blooms is already a complete birthday bundle, but it pairs easily with our wider birthday range if you want to scale up. Add birthday balloons for a bigger balloon arch on the doorstep. Add birthday cupcakes for an office spread (try our Three Vanilla Cupcakes for the small-team send, or our Single Vanilla Cupcake as a stocking-filler add-on). For the freshest local cake selection, browse our bakery Cape Town range — every cake is baked the morning of dispatch from our Claremont kitchen.

Delivery: Cape Town Same-Day Only

Buttercream Blooms is a freshly-baked, fresh-flower, helium-balloon bundle, so it delivers in Cape Town only, same-day on orders placed before 12pm Monday to Saturday. We deliver across Claremont, Sea Point, Camps Bay, Constantia, Newlands, Rondebosch, Green Point, Bishopscourt, Kenilworth, Wynberg, the City Bowl, the Southern Suburbs, the Atlantic Seaboard and the wider Cape Town network. For the full delivery footprint, see our Cape Town flower delivery map and same-day flower delivery page. As a bakery and helium balloon bundle, Buttercream Blooms does NOT ship by nationwide courier and is NOT available for Johannesburg same-day delivery.

How To Receive and Care For Buttercream Blooms

The bouquet arrives hand-tied, hydrated and wrapped. Trim 2cm off the stems at a 45-degree angle, place in a clean vase with fresh cool water, and keep away from direct sunlight to extend the bloom life. The cake arrives on a white plate, ready to lift onto the birthday table. The fresh florals on top are decorative — lift them off before slicing. The chocolate pearls are edible. Store the cake at cool room temperature and serve the day it arrives for best taste. The balloons arrive inflated; they will hold helium for 24-48 hours.

Fabulous Flowers and Gifts Fresh Flowers Care Instructions

Fresh Flowers

Find a Vase: Your lovely blooms need a drink! Put them in your favourite vase with fresh water as soon as possible.

Trim Those Stems: Keep those stems fresh by cutting them at an angle. This allows more water up the stem. Checking and trimming the stems every few days will keep them sound.

Gently Strip Leaves: Remove any excess leaves, especially from the part of the stem that will be submerged. This helps to avoid rot and bacteria, which can shorten your flowers' life span.

Remove Old Blooms: Drooping flowers release ethylene gas, which may accelerate the aging of other flowers. Strip off any dead or dying flowers to keep the rest of the bouquet looking bright and fresh.

Keep Them Cool: Place your flowers away from heat sources such as heaters, televisions, or ovens to retain the beauty of your flowers.

Clean Water: Always place your flowers in clean water. Refresh your vase with water daily or at least every second day. 

Gift Boxes

Storage Tips: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to keep contents in perfect condition.

Handling with Care: Handle this box gently so as not to damage the delicate items inside.

Freshening: If your gift includes foods or beverages, please refer to the individual product use-by and expiry dates and the informational materials regarding storage recommendations:

Plants

Watering: Ensure your plants are hydrated but avoid overwatering. Check the soil's moisture regularly and water it when the top inch feels dry.

Light: Place your plants in a spot where they receive the appropriate amount of light. Some prefer bright, indirect light, while others thrive in low-light conditions.

Feeding: Feed your plants with a balanced fertiliser every few weeks during the growing season to keep them healthy and vibrant.

Pruning: Regularly remove dead leaves and trim back overgrown branches to encourage new growth and maintain the plant's shape.

Humidity: Some plants thrive in high humidity. If needed, mist your plants occasionally or place a humidifier nearby to create a favourable environment.

Artificial Flowers and Plants

Dusting: Your artificial flowers and botanicals should be lightly dusted regularly with a soft cloth or feather duster.

Light Washing: For deeper cleaning, please use a cloth lightly dampened with water and a small amount of mild detergent. Gently wipe the leaves and petals.

Avoid Direct: Sunlight Do not place under direct sunlight in order to prevent colours from fading.

Fluff and Arrange: Just fluff up petals and leaves to remain fluffy. Set them in position as desired to look natural.

Personalize: Gift your flowers, Gift Boxes, and Artificial Flowers and Plants with the Care They Deserve; they will be a Source of Joy and Elegance for you. The charm of fresh flowers, the delight of a thoughtful gift box, and the endless beauty of an artificial plant—all special moments created by Fabulous Flowers and Gifts.

Please Note: Due to the seasonal nature of flowers and availability of specific items, the contents of our bouquets and gift boxes may vary throughout the year. We strive to substitute any unavailable items with products of equal or greater value, ensuring that every gift you receive is fresh, beautiful, and of the highest quality. Thank you for your understanding and for choosing us to celebrate your special moments.
