The cake decorations can be made of gum paste, meringue, or marzipan, and can include sugared fruits such as miniature pears, berries, and champagne grapes.
Fresh flowers can add a beautiful touch to the cake.The flower arrangement should reflect the wedding flowers and other reception appointments.
You can decorate with crystallized edible flowers (and/or fruit), made in advance, or use fresh flowers. Either way, ask your florist for those that haven't been sprayed with pesticides (or gather some from your yard that are organic). (NOTE: Lily of the Valley and others are toxic. Check this chart for a List of Safe and Edible Flowers).
There are different ways to decorate with flowers
1. Place flowers directly on the cake. To keep them fresh by the time you serve the cake, cut a 3" piece from a drinking straw. Bend one end up and tape it. Then fill the straw 3/4 full with water and stick the flower stem in. Arrange the flowers on the cake.
