• confectioners arrange the selected berries and fruits in a chaotic manner and depending on the colors (everything is thought out in advance here);

If live plants are present on the cake, this does not mean at all that the berries cannot be made from cream. As a complement to fresh flowers, flowers made of mastic or cream can be made. In this case, the newlyweds should be aware in advance which flowers should not be eaten.

Before choosing a wedding cake for such an important event, several points and expert advice should be considered.

• Floral decorations must necessarily be combined with future table setting, as well as with the design of dishes. This moment is very important to think about in advance, discussing all the nuances with the confectioner and the organizer of the wedding.
• If you do not want to completely decorate the cake with fresh flowers, then you can easily diversify it with the help of classic swan figures or some other figures from mastic.
• When choosing a wedding cake with live roses, you should be careful, because it is these flowers that very quickly begin to wither without access to water. But orchids, on the contrary, are long enough, and they look very original.

• To decorate wedding cakes, it is strongly not recommended to use toxic flowers with a strong aroma. These include lilies of the valley, callas and some others. Confectioners involved in decorating cakes with such decor should definitely notify about such plants.
• A “winter cake” with fresh flowers and fresh berries that are sprinkled with delicate icing sugar can look very elegant. Such a cake looks as if it is covered with a gentle shroud of snow.
• Some ladies decide to make a cake at home, so if there is an opportunity, it is best to take garden flowers for decoration, since they are not stuffed with various chemicals, unlike purchased greenhouse ones.

• Whatever flowers are chosen, it is very important that they touch the cake to a minimum. This will not only save a beautiful design, but also extend the life of plants.
• It is very important to discuss with the confectioner all details of the decoration. So, a confectionery product needs to be decorated at least 2 hours before serving, otherwise the flowers may lose their beautiful appearance, as a result of which they will not only please the guests, but also look sloppy in the photographs.
• The use of candied and caramel colors such as lavender, pansies, violets and chrysanthemums can be an excellent solution as a decoration.
• It is better to choose flowers from those that will be present in the wedding bouquet. It is very important to pay attention to a beautiful cake stand, on which you can also place several fresh flowers that are present on the cake itself.

Summing up, we can safely say that the choice in favor of fresh flowers in a wedding dessert is a win-win. These cakes look fresh and modern, they can be the complement of any wedding identity.

To create a beautiful confectionery, it is very important to find a proven and highly qualified confectioner who not only beautifully decorates his works, but also makes really delicious toppings.
