Sugar Flowers vs. Real Flowers for Wedding Cakes
Unless organic flowers have been ordered, flowers are grown with pesticides. And those pesticides should not ever be touching your cake.
The Art of Floral Wedding Cakes
As Sugar Couture grew, I had more and more requests for these fragile beauties. People were impressed with their lifelike quality, delicate petals, and their impressive statement on the wedding cakes I made.
“Cakes can seem deceptively large or small in photos. It’s always a good idea to think of their presence in all 3 dimensions rather than just height and diameter. They always have so much more presence in person. And bigger isn’t always better.”
