Let’s dive into how you can make your desserts look amazing with just a little floral flair (and a gorgeous serving platter)!
1. Top Cupcakes with Petals for Instant Elegance
Cupcakes are a classic favorite, but they can sometimes feel a little plain. Elevate them by adding a simple garnish of dried edible rose petals or lavender buds. Just a few petals will give your cupcakes a professional look that’s perfect for any celebration.
How To Use:
- Bake your cupcakes using your favorite mix (ours are delicious and easy!).
- Once they’ve cooled, top with a simple swirl of frosting.
- Sprinkle a few dried rose petals or lavender buds on top for an instant upgrade.
2. Give Store-Bought Cakes a Floral Makeover
Not a baker? No problem! You can still create a show-stopping dessert with edible flowers. Grab your favorite store-bought cake, whether it’s a simple sponge or chocolate cake, and give it a floral makeover.
How To Use:
- Slice the cake and cover it with whipped cream or frosting.
- Arrange dried flowers like violets, chamomile, or roses on top to create a beautiful, garden-inspired dessert.
- Add a light dusting of powdered sugar for extra elegance.
It’s that easy to make a store-bought dessert look homemade and gourmet!
3. Use Floral Garnishes on Cookies and Biscuits
Cookies and biscuits are a great base for floral decorations. Whether you’re making your own batch of shortbread or grabbing store-bought ones, adding a touch of edible flowers will make them look like they came from a high-end bakery.
How To Use:
- Bake your cookies and let them cool.
- Lightly frost them or drizzle with glaze.
