Delicate sugar flowers will always have my heart.
Have you considered the benefits to including sugar flowers in your cake design?
Theyāre food safe. Some flowers, although beautiful, are poisonous and should be avoided when considering your cake design. These include but are not limited to babyās breath, tulips, hydrangeas, foxglove, etc. And even if a flower is not poisonous by nature, using sugar flowers is a great way to keep pesticides and other unwanted chemicals out of your cake!
The color options are unlimited! Because theyāre made with gum paste or wafer paper, they can be made in nearly any color to match your special day.
They serve as the sweetest keepsake. Unlike real flowers that die, sugar flowers when stored properly (out of humidity) can last almost indefinitely. Iāve had couples place their wedding cake sugar flowers in a vase creating a beautiful arrangement to remind them of their big day.
Theyāre always in season. Unlike real flowers, youāre not limited by what flowers are currently in season. The skyās the limit!
Now, it may sound like Iām a real flower hater, I promise Iām not! Sugar flowers are an investment, and arenāt for everyone, but are definitely worth considering if any of those benefits spoke to you!
