Hi
I would like to use fresh flowers for my daughters birthday cake. Apart from decorating with them, I would like to use them inside the cake whilst baking.
The flowers will be small. Like Violas and Pansies.
Is it best to make a large cake or cupcakes?
How do I use whole flowers (not petals) within the cake/cupcakes ie. if I place sugared flowers on top of the cake mix will they burn or sink etc.
I am completely new to baking with fresh flowers.
Thank you
Xx
idk -- usually, as you said, cut fresh flowers are going to die at high temperatures -- so you could maybe add some to the filling you put between layers -- but I don't know of any way to actually put them in batter and into a hot oven and bake them -- although you could freeze some already baked cake and place the flowers inside there (however you want) and put that inside the cake batter -- but how you would be able to slice the cake to find them afterwards might be an issue --
I never heard of baking fresh cut flowers inside the batter -- but i'm all about learning if somebody figured it out --
