Tips and Tricks
Baking a cake is always a special occasion. Whether it’s a birthday, holiday, or just because, cake is always a welcomed treat. One way to make your cake extra special is by adding decorations, like flowers. But how do you make sure the flowers stay in place and don’t wilt? Read on for tips and tricks on how to make a cake with flowers that will impress your guests and taste great, too!
-Choose fresh, pesticide-free flowers. If you can, choose flowers that are in season and locally grown.
-Wash the Flowers. Start by giving your flowers a gentle rinse in cool water. This will help remove any dirt or pollen that may be on them. Gently pat them dry with a clean towel.
-Remove the stems. Cut or pull off the stems of the flowers so that only the petals remain. You can also remove any leaves if you’d like.
-Prepare the cake. Make sure your cake is cooled completely before you start to decorate it. If it’s warm, the heat will cause the flowers to wilt faster.
-Cover the cake with frosting or fondant. This will help hold the flowers in place and give them something to stick to.
-Place the flowers on the cake. Start at the center of the cake and work your way outwards, adding more rows as you go along. For smaller cakes, you can add just one row of flowers around the edge. For larger cakes, you can add multiple rows of flowers or even create a floral design in the center of the cake.
-Enjoy! Your beautiful flower Cake is now ready to be enjoyed!
