I’ve been baking and decorating cakes with fresh flowers for several years now. “I must have flowers, always … on my cake” is a “how to” guide to share some lessons I’ve learned over the years using fresh blossoms on the cakes I’ve baked. The guide was created in the hope that others might like to give it a try. 

The decorating suggestions focus only on selecting and preparing the flowers to be used to decorate a “store bought” cake or one baked and frosted at home.

For some tried-and-true, crowd-pleasing recipes for the chocolate fudge cake and carrot cake with cream cheese frosting that I used to illustrate this book,  see  my book of recipes, "Schnufka’s Bakers", in the "Books" menu above.
