Edible Flower Cake

Do you want to be instantly wowed by your friends and family? Say no more: EDIBLE FLOWERS!

Hopefully you guys are weeping the rewards of your edible flowering plants like I am. If not make sure you plan to get these next spring. Think fancy salads, ice cubes, desserts. 

Edible flowering plants that we sell: borage, nasturtium, gem marigolds, calendula, violas and several herbs are starting to flower now like mints that of course also have edible flowers!

There's so many things you can do with edible flowers but since it was my birthday recently, I thought it would be fun for my boys to help decorate my cake with flowers. Look how stinking cute! Here we used borage, lavender and a cute little cucumber blossom. 

Remember if you are foraging from your own garden, to make sure you are certain which flowers are edible. If you need any help identifying, I'd be happy to help! And if you'd rather skip the foraging part shoot me an email. I most likely can pick you a little box depending on the season. A lot of our cut flowers are also edible. So much fun! I'd love to get more into edible flowers but it's a lot of time that I just don't have right now. In the meantime I'd be happy to teach you what you can eat form your own garden or landscape!
