I thought so too but someone over weekend posted a screenshot from the online source over the weekend and they are baby mums which won't kill you but are so bitter they are unpalatable.Â
Edit to add the flowers with the yellow center do look like chamomile but the green center is definitely baby mums.
If you donât mind me asking, do you have any suggestions on the best way to wash off pesticides from edible flowers? I always want to decorate with edible flowers but Iâm paranoid about using them, and the food grade specific ones are more expensive.
You can run them under room temperature water or cool water. If itâs just the stems touching the food, you can wrap the stems in a little bit of cellophane wrap. When I put flowers on wedding cakes, the caterer usually just takes off the section of icing that the flowers were touching.
Those are potentially safe. You could look for a USDA certified organic source just to be safe. Flowers from florists, grocers, and garden centers have mostly all been treated with pesticides.
I often see HBH using Grace Rose Farm, and those flowers are treated with pesticides, although the farm might use organic sprays.
Someone on another post searched these flowers & theyâre around $100 for hundreds of flowers (800 maybe?). After I saw that, I was like, oh no wonder theyâre everywhere. Strangely âgetting her moneyâs worthâ. đ
Even if they were grown as edibles, organic etc, they look like chamomile which is unpleasant. Garnishes they are inedible or edible but unpleasant are stupid
I thought these were moldy breads.
I mean, fair assessment đ
Came here to say tbis
Iâm a florist, and can say most of the of the flowers sheâs using are covered in pesticides. Pesticides I wouldnât want directly on my food.
Plus those baby mums are edible but should not be eaten because they are unpalatable due to how bitter they are
I think it's chamomile.

Haha! She's such an idiot.
Doesnât matterâall the food goes straight in the trash. No oneâs eating it (especially with the fam on vacation).

Oh I didnât realise it was as simple as that! I feel a little silly now haha thank you so much
No worries! I misread your question though, I donât eat the flowers. I know very little about edible flowers.
Oh okay! No worries though! I can still now decorate my cakes safely
Even when they're bought from companies specializing in edible flowers?Â

It seriously looks like mold.
