CELEBRATE YOUR WEDDING WITH EDIBLE FLOWER CAKES
Spring and summer weddings are all about embracing the beauty of nature, and what better way to do so than with a stunning edible flower wedding cake? These floral confections are not only visually captivating but also add a touch of elegance and whimsy to your special day. In this blog post, we will explore why edible flower cakes are the perfect choice for spring and summer weddings and discuss some safe and non-toxic flowers that can be used to adorn these delightful treats.
EMBRACE THE BEAUTY OF THE SEASON
One of the major reasons why edible flower wedding cakes are ideal for spring and summer weddings is the abundance of vibrant and fragrant blooms during these seasons. The cake becomes a canvas for showcasing nature's most exquisite creations. Whether you choose a simple buttercream wedding cake adorned with delicate petals or a fondant-covered masterpiece with intricate floral designs, your cake will undoubtedly encapsulate the essence of the season.
A FEAST FOR THE EYES AND TASTE BUDS
Edible flowers are a fantastic addition to your wedding cake as they bring both visual beauty and a pleasurable culinary adventure. By integrating flowers into the cake's aesthetic, you have the opportunity to infuse each delectable bite with delicate floral undertones. From the delicate essence of lavender and rose to the invigorating zing of pansies and marigolds, these edible blossoms orchestrate an exquisite medley of flavors that will undoubtedly captivate and satisfy your cherished guests.
CHOOSING SAFE AND NON-TOXIC FLOWERS
While adorning your wedding cake with edible flowers is a charming idea, it is crucial to ensure that you select safe and non-toxic varieties. Here are a few popular choices that are both beautiful and safe to consume:
1. Roses – Symbolic of love and beauty, roses are a classic choice for wedding cakes. Ensure you select organically grown roses without the use of pesticides.
2. Lavender – Known for its calming scent, lavender pairs wonderfully with lemon or vanilla-flavoured cakes.
3. Pansies – These delicate flowers come in a range of vibrant hues and have a mild, slightly sweet flavour. They are perfect for adding a pop of colour to your cake. (These are my personal fave)
4. Violets – These dainty flowers possess a delicate aroma and come in various shades of purple. Their petals can be crystallised or used fresh on your cake.
5. Calendula – Also known as marigold, calendula flowers have a vibrant yellow
