Just whip up a delicious sponge cake, cover it in buttercream, and throw or take the time to arrange a handful of flowers over it. Creating an elegant and unique look that everyone will love.

What's the difference between edible flowers and fresh flowers?
The answer to this is that you can buy organic flowers which have been grown without pesticides so are safe to eat. A quick search on google will bring up lists for flowers which are safe to consume. Some common edible flowers are Chamomile; Roses; Snapdragons; Sunflowers; Violets; Pansies; Marigolds; Gladiolus and many more.
And of course, there are many flowers which are poisonous and need to be avoided at all costs. Such as Foxgloves; Hyacinths; Rhododendrons. Again, do a quick search on Google to ensure you are not using toxic flowers. A good point of reference on using fresh flowers is www.wikihow.com.
