Edible flowers
« on: June 23, 2013, 07:14:26 PM »
Yes, these two displays are completely edible. They were photographed at this year's Alnwick spring flower show.

They truly are works of art, what do you think?
Yemen, what a country ... Haraz mountains, Socotra, Sana'a, Hadramaut, the empty quarter.... a country of stunning, mind altering beauty...and the friendliest of people.

We still have the sugar-craft flowers from our wedding cake. A school friend made them - she did it for Celebration Station - the cake shop in Dunblane.
