Flowers are normally something to admire in a garden, bouquet or still life – but not so much in your food.
Yet these little beauties are now cropping up all over social media as food lovers become increasingly more creative with floral designs on their cakes, cocktails and coffees this summer.
Once both an expense and rare find, supermarkets such as Sainsbury’s have now started stocking edible flowers at a reasonable price in the UK. Beware though, you can’t just go picking any Tom, Dick and Harry out of the fields as not all flowers can be eaten. Try looking for daisies, roses, lavender, primroses, violets and chrysanthemums among others.
MACROS have scoured Instagram to find you the best blooming creations out there to get you all this inspo you need to get started.
