Choose Sugar Flowers for your Wedding Cake
Introduction
We can all agree that a wedding cake is the focal point when creating the ideal wedding day centrepiece. Therefore, the choice of design is crucial in transforming a plain cake into a piece of art that captures the spirit of your special occasion. Sugar flowers stand out among the various possibilities as the best choice for your wedding cake because they add a classic and exquisite touch. Let us explore why sugar flowers are the best option for timeless, centre-stage wedding cakes.
Food Saftey
Sugar flowers do contain pesticides, insects or dirt. In the United Kingdom, commercial flowers are treated with a cocktail of organic and inorganic fertilisers, herbicides, fungicides, insecticides, preservatives, and even colours in order to maximise profit per harvest and preserve shelf life when they arrive at your weddings. Furthermore, there is no label to indicate which compounds were used. Even if you wash the outside, toxins will have saturated all sections of the flower and may leak into the cake via the petals, leaves, or stems.
Also, many popular wedding flowers can cause an allergic reaction in you or your guest. Eucalyptus, Ruscus, Fern, Dusty Miller, Ranunculus, Sweetpea, Gypsophilia, Hydrangea, Alstroemeria. For a more detailed listing see the British Sugarcraft Guild’s report here
Because there are so many unknowns, it is not safe to place “normal” flowers near or on a cake. I only support the use of edible organic flowers on my cakes. Here is a great link to an edible flower guide
Design Flexibility
Sugar Flowers’ unmatched design flexibility enables cake decorators to create numerous designs and themes. They are not subject to seasonal availability, unlike fresh flowers. In short, they can be matched to any design concept, ensuring that your cake melds perfectly with the atmosphere you’ve chosen for your wedding, whether it is a vintage charm, modern simplicity, rustic romanticism, or spectacular luxury you are after.
Timeless Elegance
Since the dawn of Sugarcraft, sugar flowers have adorned wedding cakes, bringing timeless elegance. They are the ideal option for couples who wish to uphold tradition while incorporating their individual style because of their delicate and detailed designs, which perfectly capture the essence of traditional wedding aesthetics.
Artistry and Craftsmanship
Making sugar flowers is a specialist art form that calls for talent, accuracy, and imagination. Each flower and leaf are painstakingly handcrafted by sugarcraft artists, demonstrating their extraordinary skill and attention to detail. The end product is a breathtaking artistic display that turns a basic cake into a work of beauty.
Perfect Permanence
Sugar flowers don’t wilt, fade, or lose brightness over time as fresh blooms may. Your cake is a decorative focal point throughout the wedding day thanks to the perfect permanence of sugar flowers, making a lasting impact on your guests.
Precious Moments
Sugar blossoms have sentimental value. I always instruct the wedding coordinators to retain sugar flowers as a keepsake. Every time you look at these complex works of art, they bring back beloved memories and allow you to relive the happiness and romance of your wedding.
Conclusion
Sugar flowers are the Rolls Royce of decorative elements. They represent class, artistry, and eternal beauty. Sugar blossoms have a timeless appeal that captures hearts and improves the ambience of any occasion, from traditional wedding arrangements to avant-garde masterpieces. Sugar flowers transform your cake into a work of beauty. When you plan your ideal wedding, remember to elevate the elegance of your wedding cake with sugar flowers.
