I keep seeing ads for this on channels I follow, and I would love to try it, but I always get hung up on the part where they won't tell me anything about prices or what plan my monsters should be on until after I give them my email address, like I don't already have an overwhelming number of emails coming in from everywhere. It always makes me pause and reconsider because it feels dishonest and manipulative to force customers to not only give them your personal infomation just to see a price list, but to then require them to sign up for a subscription.

Soak the flowers in water first for about 15 minutes to remove the pesticides and anti mold. Just touching the flowers alone will give skin dryness. (Florist here)

[@stephaniedoyle6748]

I was thinking the same.

[@TheIcingArtist]

LOVE this! Thank you so much!

[@TheRealTMar]

Most fresh flowers are exported from The Netherlands and yeah, they're known to be covered in pesticides. Even if you're soaking them to try to remove as much as possible, I wouldn't serve the part of the cake the flowers are on.

[@notconvincedgranny6573]

And seeded eucalyptus is toxic, so be careful not to have it touch the cake.

[@jana.thecat]

Another florist here. Like the comment before me I really wouldn't use those flowers in cakes at all. There are flowers specifically for this purpose that do not have pesticides on them. Even soaking them doesn't remove all of it as you don't know if something systemic was used.

[@amybooksit7818]

I had to do exactly this at my wedding. The cake was made by a friend but it fell over in the trunk of her car. My son ran for tubs of icing, another friend started grabbing flowers out of the decor. In the end, our 10 minute panic decoration was far better than the original had been anyway. So stressful though!

It's worth mentioning that people need to be careful about choosing fresh flowers and leaves/greenery that are food safe and not toxic. Even with flower holders or binding stems, if flowers/greenery come into contact with the cake, you need to be careful.

True, I think the original was double layer on the tiers, hers are three or four layer. Height matters for tiered cakes.

[@hopegold883]

One hundred percent. Really, I’d be perfectly happy with that one. Which makes me wonder if it even was a baker who made it. Laurie always says she’s a home baker. So hhhhhhow did any level of pro make that?

[@chantalhamilton2374]

Also Laurie has great buttercream and her cake is layered straight and sturdy. You can see the buttercream sagging on the cake edges in the fail pic

[@Kyosumari]

@@hopegold883 Looked like a grocery store bakery cake, it was awful I was asking the same thing.

[@bethdavisjimenez]

@forevergogo also, the original was just bad. If it was supposed to have been done by an actual bakery whoever did it was either an actual child or shouldn't have been doing cakes at all. My Mom baked and decorated cakes for a hobby outside of her 9-5 office job. Her roses and tiers and well, everything was just so much better and I honestly feel like I could have done better than the original and I've never decorated a cake in my life. Whoever did made it took zero pride in their work

[@Retirementtrekkers]

Loved the after. As an event planner I’ve done similar things for my brides who had cake disasters. I think I would have sprinkled the luster dust on the flowers after they were placed. It would be just a hint of gold, but you did amazing.

Thanks to your videos, I saved my daughters wedding cake. Went to pick it up from a grocery store bakery ( bride and groom didn’t really want a cake, and I was ordering from over 500 miles away) I had ordered a simple 2:tier cake with no decoration. Just white. No cake. So I bought an 8 inch Black Forest cake with mostly white icing, and a 6 inch white cake with a red border and sprinkles. I asked the bakery worker for a tub of white icing, and I bought some tips in the baking section. Took off all the sprinkle, red border, white chocolate shavings and cherries. And then stacked it, re iced and put a border on and ended up with what I wanted. Thanks for giving me the confidence to make it happen

[@p.s.shnabel3409]

"bride and groom didn’t really want a cake" I'm not sure I understand what went on here. Maybe you just chose an unfortunate way to describe the situation? Did they maybe not want to spend money on a cake (because let's face it, money is tight for most of us)? Or they were like my husband and I, we didn't care either way and would have been perfectly happy without one. But when one of our guests showed up with a cute little wedding cake, we thought it was a thoughtful, lovely gesture and didn't take offense. I've been to a wedding, though, where they intentionally didn't serve a traditional wedding cake and there was some kind of deep reason behind it (I forgot, it's been nearly forty years). As well as other weddings where some family members or the couple were allergic/had dietary restrictions and it was easiest to go without a cake.

@@karenustach5655 Always write down full name, date and time when dealing with "official" stuff. Also a rough transcript of what was agreed upon. Repeat what you jotted down at the end of the conversation to make sure there are no misunderstandings. If you are a customer and a company throws a fit over taking the time to do this, you don't want to do business with them; you already know they'll treat your order like an inconvenience. If it's something important, don't do it over the phone if you can help it at all. Or if you do, follow up with an email where you reiterate what was said. Last resort, send an actual letter (if it's really, really important). You'd be amazed how many people will back down when you have even the smallest amount of evidence (and yes, if it comes to that, courts have been known to admit handwritten notes as evidence; doesn't mean it will win the case, but it does make a good impression).

Your cake is so much more refined and beautiful even though it's simpler and was easier to make! A tip: those flowers likely use pesticides that are not food safe since they're not meant for human consumption. There are florists who sell flowers specifically for food use! Some supermarkets like Whole Foods also have edible flowers with the fresh herbs but if you're looking for whole flowers, definitely call around to florists.

[@gr33ngirlsea]

I was curious about this. Thank you!

She did cover the stems with cling wrap, so that the stems don't actually touch the cake

[@jodiealamode]

​@@ThePickledStories the leaves are still touching the cake and they can spread pollen onto it as well. I'm a professional baker. It's fine for if you're just at home but those wouldn't be allowed to be sent to a customer.

For fresh flowers don’t you have to worry about the stems? Not all flowers and stems are edible, is it possible to accidentally poison peeps? It turned out amazing. Edit: I noticed now you wrapped the stems before putting them in. Would love to see you talk about why and how.

[@bacteria1337]

She actually mentioned about the saran wrap here 17:39

[@Futu06]

Commercially grown flowers usually have pesticides in them and it's the stem that's the issue - if you cut into it and just stick it in the cake, traces of pesticide can go into the cake. This is why cake decorators will use a special flower tape to wrap the stems, or at home you can just use plastic wrap. Just keep in mind that unlike the flower tape, the plastic wrap might stick to the cake more than the flower, so you have to make sure it comes out when removing the flowers.

[@Rxanne28]

At my wedding a relative made my cakes. She did a pretty good job, they weren't exactly perfect but I didn't care. Because she did her best and it's just a CAKE. Sometimes people go a little too far with weddings thinking everything has to be perfect. Not everything is going to be perfect.

Nice!!! A friend of mine was a florist. She told me that flowers have so much pesticide on them that she had to change careers. She developed an allergy and even wearing gloves didn't help. Even if the flower is edible, grocery store flowers are not safe for using on food intended for eating! 😮 Unless the flowers are specifically grown as organic/food grade.

[@moniqueh7948]

Just checking in about Archie’s health. Is he well and back to normal now? Love your channel and really loved your home Reno clip. Your new house is a dream home. Congratulations 🥳

For flowers I have tried using fake plastic ones but I could see cutting a real flower and poking a skewer through instead of putting a stem into the cake.

I honestly think your cake looks prettier than the ones in the pictures. It's simpler and more tasteful.

Sundays was one of the foods our dog wouldn’t eat. Love your version.

[@KaylaGranland]

I love that you did a shout out to not only Ann but also Evan and Katelyn! Some of mt favourite channels!

[@jennarhodes2724]

Great improvement and awesome that you gave suggestions for how bakeries with limited means can handle orders like that

[@GodMother.]

Both of those Inspiration photos were what l looked at for our wedding cake and we used the one with the red flowers and swirls. Your cake was deffo better.

Another option that most people have instead of the saran wrap is to use it down plastic straws and put the stems in the straws so they don’t touch the cake.

100% I would take your rescue over the original bad cake. I feel so sad that that ended up being their wedding cake. Mine ended up bad, too, and actually, multiple people asked me during the reception if they could move it back into the kitchen. I hadn't seen it yet so I said no, it's fine! After the third or fourth person, I went over to take a look.. yikes. It wasn't this bad though.

[@amandawells35]

Maybe you could have used the gold to dust the flowers? (Just the powder)

[@stephstevens2]

Ooo I love Ann Reardon's cake rescue series too! This was fun, you should definitely make more of these

Someone mentioned that fresh flowers are dipped in pesticides but just an FYI they can also be poisonous. Like fox glove, lily of the valley, oleander, larkspur, daffodil, iris etc

[@AkaiTsume]

This was such a fun video!! You got pretty darned close to the original fail, though I love that even your "worst" attempt is still better looking than it was. XD And the remade version looks great!!!

When I first learned to decorate was from an old school decorator. I had to pipe like 20 + roses every week for class. Was taught 50/50 royal + buttercream. Also got taught to pipe in stages. And scalloped border was the bomb in the 80’s. I to am not a fan. You did a good job piping the flowers. Piping ain’t easy. Don’t know what grocery store sold you icing?? The bakery stores where I am don’t sell it. I’ve decorated with real flowers on several cakes. Always used organic. Because regular flowers are full of pesticides and possibly bugs. You can dip your flower stems in either parowax or melted white chocolate. Easy and no fuss. I really love the placement of the flowers. Other cakes were heavy handed. Yours was light and lovely. Like a cascading meadow.

[@TheIcingArtist]

Thank you!! I love the idea of dipping the flowers in melted chocolate! I'm going to give that one a go!

[@Clarky1951]

@@TheIcingArtist Curious to know where you bought your pre-made icing? I can only get at McCall’s or Bulk Barn. And lately, BB hasn’t carried. I use for icing dummies.
