Move over, charcuterie — there’s a new board in town, and it’s a whole lot sweeter (and prettier)!
If you’re looking for a show-stopping way to serve dessert at your next gathering, a floral dessert board is the trend to try.
Think mini cupcakes, cookies, colorful dried edible flowers, lavender lemonade, and chocolate dips — all beautifully arranged for guests to graze and swoon over.
Here’s how to create your own — easily — using mixes and dried flowers from The Flower Food Company. ✨
What is a Floral Dessert Board? 🌸🍫
Imagine your favorite grazing boards with desserts instead of cheeses and meats.
A floral dessert board is a curated, colorful spread of sweet treats, fresh flowers, dried edible petals, and fun little add-ons like fruit, floral lemonade, or melted chocolate.
It’s stunning to look at and ridiculously fun to eat!
Perfect for:
- Garden parties
- Bridal showers
- Baby showers
- Birthdays
- Mother’s Day
- Girls' nights
- Afternoon tea parties
Step 1: Bake Your Base Treats 🧁🍪
First, choose a few simple, delicious desserts that are easy to pick up and eat.
Here are some easy Flower Food Company favorites:
- Mini Floral Tea Cakes (using our Rose Petal Tea Cake Mix)
- Lavender Shortbread Cookies (made with our Lavender Honey Shortbread Cookie Mix)
- Chamomile Scones (cut small for bite-sized treats!)
- Mini Cupcakes (add our dried edible flowers for extra flair!)
Because our mixes are foolproof and delicious, you’ll feel like a gourmet baker without any stress. (Psst… no one needs to know you used a mix 😉.)
Step 2: Add Gorgeous Floral Touches 🌸✨
This is where the magic happens!
Decorate your board with edible petals like:
Sprinkle them over desserts, tuck them into little bowls, or scatter them across the board for a wildflower garden effect.
Pro tip:
Mix a few petals into a bowl of powdered sugar for an extra-pretty dusting option for guests!
Step 3: Include Floral Drinks and Dips 🍹🍫
Round out your board with:
- Mini bowls of melted chocolate for dipping cookies and scones
- Fresh berries like raspberries, blueberries, and strawberries
- Homemade Lavender Lemonade (easy with our Lavender Lemonade Mix!)
- Floral honey or a honey-lavender butter for spreading
It’s all about layers, textures, and letting guests mix and match!
Step 4: Style It Beautifully ✨
Create a layout that feels abundant and colorful:
- Start by placing bowls and bigger items.
- Fill in with cookies, cupcakes, and scones.
- Tuck edible flowers and berries into the gaps.
- Don’t forget some fresh flowers (non-edible!) around the edges for added drama.
Use a wooden board, a pretty platter, or even a vintage tray — whatever fits your vibe.
