Beautiful Sugar Flowers on Wedding Cakes

Many wedding cakes are decorated with fresh flowers but did you know that not all flowers are appropriate for cake decoration? Some flowers are naturally toxic for consumption while others are harmful because of pesticide use. Generally, any flower that is sold as an edible garnish is a perfect choice for fresh flowers on a cake. Flowers that are edible include: roses, gardenias, pansies, violets, and dandelions.

If you don't want the headache of finding edible flowers or the heart break of one of your guests getting sick, an alternative to fresh flowers are sugar flowers. This is a more expensive route to go but sugar flowers have come a long way. They look practically real now. Check out the stunning cakes by Cotton & Crumbs.
