This week is one of Bronya's Choices - The Ultimate Guide to Putting Flowers on Cakes.
It's a topic that we are all a bit fuzzy around the edges on, so we went straight to the experts and got our information from the Food Standards Agency! The email we got back was from @food.gov.uk - you can't get much more official than that!
Who's responsibility is it if you get given a toxic flower from a florist? Who responsibility is it to put the flowers on the cake correctly? What happens if you do it wrong? How do you do it right?
Also, rumour has it that there is a food safe florist tape on the market - we investigate.
This is a crucial episode for anyone adding fresh flowers to their cakes!
