Decorate Your Cake

If you enjoy baking like I do, you know how important the final presentation of your masterpiece is. What better way to spice up your hard work than with some fresh flowers?! They are very popular for many reasons. Whether you are hosting a party and want to impress some guests, or you are getting married and need to give your cake a special and unique touch, we have the best, most simple, and elegant solutions!

Fresh flowers are a beautiful accent to add to your baked goods. Their colors stand out and really pop against your cakes, creating a beautiful color palette. The picture I've showcased today is from an actual wedding that we did the cake table decorations for. Remember that though these flowers are beautiful and might look delicious, it's typically not recommended to eat them. Just in case you are tempted, though, I have compiled a general list of flowers that are okay to use for cake decorations:

-Apple Blossoms -Begonias -Cornflower -Daisies -Freesia -Geranium -Hibiscus -Honeysuckle -Lavender -Pansies -Roses -Tulips
-Violets


Please refer to my previous post on cooking with flowers for more information if you are doing your own cake decorations. [Remember, make sure your flowers are clean and pesticide-free!]
If you would like us to help you out or want us to work on your wedding, we are full of wonderful ideas for details that will make every evening extra special!

Bon Appétit!
