Use Image Transfer Flowers to Bring The Technique To Life
We live in an age of technology that makes life easier and allows us to realize our dreams. Tell your baker what flowers you would like to see on your wedding cake. First, the baker must receive the photograph you wish to use on the cake. If you have a digital image, you are good to go. To create a digital file, the baker will need your photo scanned. A printer can print an edible photo. Special printers are available at most bakeries that specialize in photo cakes. They can only print edible photos.
A picture printed on fondant can also be used to create a beautiful floral design for your wedding cake. This method involves printing a picture onto fondant and applying it to the cake. Wallpaper-style images or photos of real flowers are all possible. The image of your garden can be printed on your wedding cake or any other design. Ask your baker to do an image transfer on one or all of your tiers.
You might consider incorporating hand-painted flowers.
That’s right! Hand-painted flowers can be incorporated into your wedding cake. A skilled artist can transform your cake with just a paintbrush.

Because hand-painted flowers for wedding cakes are more costly, they take longer to make, so be sure to do your research before you commit.
DIY Flower Wraps

You can avoid these risks by making your flower wrap for your wedding cake. This allows for pesticide-free natural flowers. You can rinse the flowers in cold water and then look for insects between the petals.
Wrap a length of floristry wire with floristry tape. If your wire is too thin for your flowers, you can tape several pieces together to create a flexible band. Start by attaching the stems to your band, starting with the foliage. You can continue to build up until you reach the desired appearance and fullness. To create a beautiful wash of flowers, wrap your flowers around a cake tier or up the top of your cake. Another option is to use natural, pesticide-free flowers for your wedding cake decoration.
