Are you looking for unique ways to use fresh flowers in your Easter decorations and celebration? If yes, a great way to use fresh flowers for Easter is decorating your Easter cakes with them. This article will provide you information on how to use edible flowers for your Easter cakes.

There is nothing more you can do to make a beautiful Easter cake than decorating it with edible flowers.

You can use edible flowers in salads, vinegars, oils, and jellies. It is good to note that every edible flower should not be used for every dessert. Some flowers have very strong flavors that could overpower your dessert.

How To Use Fresh Flowers To Decorate An Easter Cake

Before you use any type of flower for your cake, confirm that it is edible and free of herbicides and pesticides. Once you confirm this, wash your flowers in a bowl of water to remove any dust, pollen or insects. The flowers should be left to soak for at least 30 minutes to make the freshness last longer. After 30 minutes have passed, cut the stems off your flowers and place them on paper towels to dry.

While your flowers are drying, you can think of how you will want to layout out the floral design. Here is a cake design you can try:

Use mint leaves and jelly beans to make on the bottom of your cake a border.  A great design choice for the top of your cake is using a cluster of five to six flowers in the center with mint leaves. Crystallized flowers work really well as decorations on Easter cakes. Here are some of the many edible flowers you can use for cake decorating. Let Flowers By Chris help you create beautiful designs for your Easter Cakes:
