I've actually tasted some of these flowers on cupcakes before. I definitely could taste some kind of cucumber-like flavor, but it was slightly different.
Yeah the cucumber taste is why people tend to use a more neutrally flavored flower for edible decor. Although, there are some dessert flavors that I think go really well with it, like blueberry. The color is the major draw though. They really are beautiful.
I want to order some of these now. Its so nice to decorate with colorful flowers. Its so fun to say you ate a flower as well.
Right! You should totally go for it! They're a really colorful addition to a plate.
I should. I'll post it if I actually end up doing it.
