Fresh Flower Cake Decorations

Fresh Flower Cake Decorations -When choosing decorations for your cake, fresh flowers have proved a popular choice. Fresh flowers vs. confectionery flowers may vary with regard to expense because there is labor involved in creating and maintaining confectionary cake decorations vs. fresh flowers.

Both fresh and sculpted flowers include roses, pansies, petunias, tiger lilies, daisies, and orchids. Outdoor displays require that you choose flowers carefully. Roses can wilt very quickly when they are not placed in water. The cake is set up and arranged sometimes an hour or more before your guests will arrive. By the time you cut your cake these flowers may not look as beautiful as when they were first arranged on the cake.

Consult with both your baker and your florist for the best choice of flowers.

Some things to be mindful of is the fact that some of your guests may have allergic reactions to fresh flowers. Also flowers can attract bugs. Some flowers are chemically treated and can cause sickness if pedals contact icing. Una recommends her sculpted flowers as well as special silk flower arrangements over fresh flower arrangements.
