Hydrangea Topped Single Layer Cake

I just saw this on TheKnot.com. Each table at the wedding held a single-layered cake? What a fantabulous idea! I LOVE IT! Although, I know I would be wanting to swipe my finger over it the entire night! Yum. The hydrangea on top is simply gorgeous!

Rose Ice Cubes

My friend just shared this with me! I had to post here and share with you!

Rose Ice Cubes by Jonathan Fong Style

For a truly romantic evening, whether it’s for Valentine’s Day or an anniversary, show your love with this wine bucket filled with roses encased in ice. They’ll melt any heart.

Is it edible?

Most roses are indeed edible. However, many growers use pesticides on the roses, so I would avoid putting these ice cubes in drinks unless you’re sure there were no chemicals used. Just use the ice to cool the wine or champagne bottle.

What you’ll need:

(per ice tray)

12 spray roses (the small ones)

12 twist ties

2 wooden skewers

1 ice tray

Floral tape

1. To keep the roses submerged in the ice trays, we have to build a framework that will weigh them down. Cut the spray roses, leaving about 2 inches of stem, and use twist ties to attach the stems to the skewers.

2. Place the roses, which are attached to the skewers, upside down in their individual ice compartments of the tray.

3. Tape down the skewers at the ends of the ice tray to keep everything from floating when you add water. Your ice tray should look like the one in the photo.

4. Add water to the ice tray and freeze overnight.
