Hello!
You often use edible flowers to decorate your cakes. With that said, where do you purchase them? I’ve asked our local grocer as well as florist and they do not recommend purchasing the flowers from either place due to the use of pesticides used on flowers to promote growth etc.
Where do you obtain your edible flowers free of pesticide residue?
Thanks in advance for your advice.
