There is a solution, however – sugar flowers!
These are my speciality and passion. With sugar flowers, everything going on your cake is food safe. Sugar flowers can be made in numerous varieties and in any colour. You can have flowers that are out of season or those which would be unsafe on your wedding cake. The possibilities are endless.
What is more, if kept in the correct conditions, these stunning handcrafted creations can be kept as a lasting memory of your wedding day.
How much do sugar flowers cost?
Sugar flowers may not be your cheapest option. They take your cake maker many hours of work and this comes with a cost. I would argue that you cannot put a price on the safety of yourself, and your guests.
Don’t get me wrong, if you want fresh flowers on your cake, I am happy to work with your florist to provide you with the best service I can. But if you choose to go down the route of handcrafted sugar flowers, I promise you that you will end up with beautiful lifelike creations. Sugar flowers make a great talking point. When your guests realise that the stunning floral display on your wedding cake is made out of sugar your guests won’t believe you – and I wouldn’t be surprised if one of your guests is caught extending a finger just to check!
So what should I take away from this?
Do your research. Make sure you are using a cake maker who understands how to safely prepare and use flowers on your cake. Or entrust your cake designer with the task of creating you stunning display from sugar. Trust me you won’t be disappointed!
