Anyone ever put mums or carnations stems directly into a wedding cake? I'm getting conflicting advice, because people eat these flowers. Do I still need flower spikes?

Thanks so much for your help!!

I would definitly use spikes to avoid any contamination from pesticides or allergies that some may have. Better safe than sorry.

I'd definitely use the flower spikes, people eat the petals not the stems and the sap from the stems would contaminate your cake.

Thanks for your help. This bride is being extremely picky. Would it be okay to snip the stems and lay the flowers on the tiers?

Thanks again!!

You could perhaps glue the flower heads to your cake with royal icing but I'm not sure they would stick and stay in place. The royal icing would "seal" the end of the stalk area though. Hopefully someone else will come up with a better idea.
