I need ѕοmе hеlр regarding a 4 tier wedding cake using fondant wіth small bunches οf blue hydrangea аnd white filler flowers tο gο along wіth іt.
I wіll hаνе tο poke thе stems іntο thе cake, wіll thе sap frοm thе stem poison thе cake? Or dο i hаνе tο wrap thе stem up wіth ѕοmе foil οr wrapper?
Sοmе ѕаіd tο used wax. Aѕ іn candle wax? I’m guessing candle wax dοеѕ nοt taste appealing еіthеr. And whаt ѕhουld I wrap іt wіth аftеr waxing іf nοt floral tape.
Hаνе аnу wedding qυеѕtіοnѕ? Gеt аll thе аnѕwеrѕ уου need now аt Rachael West Designs.

Before you go out and hurt yourself or your guests you need to know that you should only be using flowers that are labeled "food grade" for cakes and salads.
Flower shop flowers have been treated with pesticides, growth hormones…….and therefore should not be used in food
Furthermore not all parts of all flowers are edible.
Go to a excellent produce store and see what they can get you from their specialty item suppliers.
Food grade flowers tend not to have the shelf life of their of their flowershop/ home center cousins so you may have to p/u the flowers and decorate w/ them the day of the wedding .
I know for a fact that fg nastursums(sp ?) are really fragile
Edit
As far as what wax use you’re back to the requirement of using a food grade product but in this case it’s simple because food grade paraffin for canning purposes [jams & jellies ] is a readily available product.
Honestly I haven’t made a wedding cake since school when it was confirmed beyond all doubt that I do not have innate pastry chef talents. I know it intellectually but the knowledge doesn’t quite translate out to my fingers.
Excellent luck
What a fantastic place to get advice on wedding flowers! I try to simplify to speed things along. Try using boutonniere cups, the clip-on kind will do, and that way, the stems will not come into contact with the flowers. Flower sap will certainly leach into the frosting, so either raise the blooms or use a excellent coating of food-grade florist spray wax. Ta-da!
