Edible Lavender Wedding Trends

2020 Edible Lavender is the Trend!
According to The Knot, wedding planning for 2020 includes Edible Florals such as lavender in their receptions. Think about including in items such as, "Frozen in ice-cubes, tossed in salads (or dressings), sprinkled on tops of dessert, it is an easy way to elevate virtually anything from infused water to classic vanilla cake." 
Culinary Lavender 
Simple to add to your reception food. For your wedding cake we suggest your baker use 1 tsp. of Culinary Lavender (ground) per cup of cake mix. For a lavender frosting we suggest using our Lavender Extract to get the desired flavor you are looking for.
Your wedding is important to us too we are more than willing to share our expertise in adding culinary to other foods you may have for your special event. Send us a email if you need help figuring out just how much culinary lavender to add and how.
