Adding flowers to a wedding cake is a popular, beautiful way to take a big-day dessert to the next level. Generally, these details are either fresh flowers provided by your florist or lifelike creations handmade by your baker. If your baker is designing the adornments, they will usually go with sugar flowers, which are generally made from sugar paste an edible (and delicious) compound which can be molded into a variety of shapes. If you have decided to go with the natural option, your florist will provide a selection of food-safe florals that match the rest of your wedding décor.
