Can anybody tell me is it safe to put onion grass straight into cakes for decoration or should I use straws?

Thanks

AI would put it into straws

It is made from the same plastic though as straws so do you think it would just be the same ? It just means that there would be little straws all hidden inside the cake :(

AI googled onion grass and read up on it.....I just don't understand why you would want onion on your cake in the first place but each to its own

Kazita, I don't think onion grass is necessarily edible or gives off an "onion" taste to your cake. Like Mo63 said, just decoration...

its NOT real onion   also seen referred to as BEAR grass - but no bears on your cake either
it is an artificial product - probably poorly named

Its used as a filler in flower/starburst decorations on cakes

 

AOk glad we aren't putting onion on cakes....however going through my classes I was told to never ever just stick something right into the cake I was taught to use straws

ARegular straws are sanitary.....where I would figure onion grass is not

AWow people are in good moods tonight I see:-(

Wow - look what I started :)

Thank you ApplegumPam and VKakes11 for clearing things up with Kazita. And thanks for the pics too.

It made me chuckle. Seems I am no further on but thanks for your help.
 

Not all plastic is food-safe!

AEach to it's own
