Real Flowers vs. Sugar Flowers

​

Did you know that most commercially grown flowers are sprayed with pesticides and chemicals that are NOT food safe? Some flowers are even toxic including popular wedding blooms like hydrangeas, ranunculus, and anemones.

​

Sugar flowers are 100% Safe & Edible-Friendly – No harmful chemicals, since sugar flowers are made from gum paste, which contains sugar and vegetable gum (e.g. tylose) that hardens and thickens sugar paste. They are completely safe to come into contact with food.

​

While sugar flowers may be more expensive, they offer numerous benefits: they won't wilt in heat or humidity, allowing your cake to shine regardless of the weather. Each flower is customizable from the petals, color and size ensuring a unique touch for your special day, and I can create any flower year-round, so you won't be limited by seasonal availability.

​

Best part, you can keep your sugar flowers as a cherished memento! Store them in an acrylic box or under a glass dome, away from direct sunlight and moisture. If you have any further questions regarding how to store your sugar flowers, please feel to reach out!
