Cake Geek FAQ:<\/h2>\n
Can you eat pressed flowers?<\/strong><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Make sure when you are buying pressed flowers for your wildflower cake that the pressed flowers are specifically marked “edible”. Be aware that some pressed flowers are sold for crafting, not cake decorating and therefore are NOT edible. So bear this in mind. The best bet for sourcing edible pressed flowers online is Etsy<\/a>.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
Another other point to bear in mind is that pressed flowers are comparable to sugar flowers in that technically they are edible, but in reality they don’t taste great! The stems on pressed flowers in particular are tough so we would recommend either removing the pressed flowers before serving the cake or simply using them as a garnish.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
How long do pressed flowers last on a cake?<\/strong> They will last for days on a cake. The cake itself would go bad before the flowers would. Any leftover pressed flowers can be stored in an airtight dry container and they should last for weeks.<\/div>\n
