Q2: What is the ideal cake size for a gathering of 15 to 20 guests?
A2: An 8-inch three-layer cake or an extended tall 6-inch four-layer tier reliably yields 16 to 22 party portions. If hosting a larger cocktail-style reception where dessert is served alongside small plates, standard coffee-cut portions (measuring 1 inch by 1 inch) allow a tall 8-inch cake to serve up to 24 guests.
Q3: Are pressed flowers completely safe to consume directly from the frosting?
A3: Only if they are certified culinary-grade, pesticide-free edible flowers such as violas, nasturtiums, calendula, or borage. Never apply florist-grade flowers directly to cake surfaces; commercial floral arrangements are frequently treated with toxic chemical sprays. Reputable bakers source organic blooms grown specifically for food service.
