What i would do is go to your local bakery and ask the cake decorator..they
should know about edible flowers ,and how to clean them properly and keep them
fresh looking,possible a florist would know this also.

Answer #5
Make sure you use organic flowers. They'll be safe to eat, because they're
grown without pesticides.

Answer #6
If the flowers are edible you can just put them directly on the cake. The link
below gives a good long list of edible flowers. If there's frosting on the cake,
that will hold them in place.

Answer #7
if you use edible or non-toxic flowers that are preferrably organic (but not
necaessary if you wash them) you will be fine just putting them on the cake
directly...but don't put them on the cake until just before you serve it or at
least an hour or two before b/c they can start to wilt....also a good idea to
keep the cake refrigerated with the flowers on it until you display or serve
it...look online for a list of nontoxic flowers..good luck!
