Behind the Scenes with the Cake Designer: Sugar Peonies -- Pink and Pretty!
Peonies bloom briefly in June, but sugar peonies bloom all year round!
Peonies bloom briefly in June, but sugar peonies bloom all year round! Sugar flowers are great additions to a cake since they are beautiful, always available, food safe and come in any color (even if not so in nature).
Fresh flowers are often sprayed with pesticides and many fresh flowers are toxic. If after considering these saftey concerns, you decide to put fresh flowers on cake, you should request that the florist put the stems in floral-picks to prevent the water flowing from the flower into the cake. Stems should never be stuck into a cake! Think about the murkey water in a flower vase.
