How do you prepare real flowers that will be placed on a wedding cake?
I've been asked to use real hydrangeas on a wedding cake that I will make and I just want to know if there is a proper method to prepare the flowers for arrangement on the cake. I don't want to just cut the stems and stick the flower in the cake. I'm being mindful of the fact that the cake will most definitely be consumed. I don't want the wedding guests to get sick.
First do some research, and find out if Hydrangeas can be kept anywhere near food...
This includes stems, flowers, petals, milk/sap from the cut stem, and pollen. If ANY of that is poisonous, I would definitely talk to the family about considering a silk or artificial hydrangea.
Im not a big fan of inedible parts, on a cake - but I know you're kind of at the mercy of the client here. But do let them know if it is a poisonous type of flower, that it would be in their best interest to go silk, or artificial as an alternative.
Also, look for EDIBLE flowers, from a flower shop. That way you know those are non-toxic!
