Flowers are essentially the most traditional kinds of tops on frosted cakes. There are different types of flowers used. Allow me to share a couple of of them.
Royal Icing dries solid and is used for many decorations like daisies, roses, violets, pansies, etc. Royal Icing is edible and is candy-like. Flower designs are usually made by piping buttercream into roses or flowers with or without leaves.
Gumpaste is best utilized when you want very hard flower designs and other decorative items. It's a sugar dough which may be rolled out and shaped into stylish flowers. These flowers are probably the most realistic and can be made on toothpicks or floral-wire in flower arrangements. Gumpaste arrangements are especially stunning cake toppers that may be kept as a memento for years to come. They can be made ahead of time, allow them to air dry, and keep in an open container, in any cool, dry place, until you place them on the wedding cake. Even though these designs are exceptionally beautiful, you should plan on paying Bakeries and at Home Cake Decorators extra for them due to the time it requires to make each gum-paste flower.
Fresh designs might be stuffed, like squash blossoms and then fried or used in stir-fry dishes. Safe to eat flowers may be crystallized; frozen in ice cubes and included with beverages; made into jellies and jams; used to make teas or wines; minced and added to cheese spreads, herbal butters, pancakes, crepes, and waffles. Many flowers can be used to make vinegars for cooking, marinades, or dressings for salad. Edible flowers can be used fresh as a adornment or as an essential part of a dish, for example a salad. When decorating a marriage cake some can make a large spray type arrangement on top and/or scatter some petals around the fringe of the wedding platter for a lovely final touch. You can find a lot of great ideas on the Cake Central website. They have thousands of great cake decorating ideas.
Fresh flowers are very popular and exquisite, but some can be hazardous if eaten. Take caution when deciding on the kinds of flower designs inside the arrangements for your cake. Use those that have not been sprayed with pesticides (or gather some out of your yard which are organic and natural). There are different ways to decorate with edible flower designs: Put together large corsage type arrangements, which are easy to place on the wedding cake when delivered. Another way is to clip greenery and flower designs just before the wedding and place them on top of the table surrounding the wedding cake. Or, shower some petals around the fringe of the cake platter for a stunning finishing touch when the cake is served.
Using fresh flowers also implies that you get together with the florist and chat about delivery times. It is not possible with transporting cakes to place flowers on before serving when you're having a function. A wedding cake is generally set up the morning of the wedding, regardless of whether the reception is for that evening. The flower designs need to be fresh and cold when setting up the wedding cake. Most highly regarded florists are accustomed considering the needs of fresh flowers resting on the cake.
