How do you know if a flower is pesticide free ? Can you simply wash/rinse flowers with water to remove pesticides - for fresh flower cake decorating ?
How do you get pesticide-free flowers or ensure that they are? And how do you clean pesticide flowers ?
The only real to make sure that they're free of pesticides is to get them from a florist. They will honestly tell you if they have pesticides on them. But just washing them will get almost everything nasty off of them, so that will work too.
Reply:Most, if not all, of the flowers that are purchased from any source contain pesticides. If they don't contain pesticides then they are certainly have some particles of dirt on them. For use on a wedding cake flowers should be rinsed, washed with an extremely light mix of dish detergent and water (1/2 teaspoon to 1 gallon of water), and then thouroughly rinsed again. Dry the flowers and put them into a bucket of clean water before using on a wedding cake. Make sure to dry the flowers completely before placing on the cake.
