In number 32 there arent cherries, the black things are olives

Sorry, i read wrong lol

These all look really amazing but I just could not eat them. O saw a programme once where they added flowers but I think unless you were raised on it from an earlier age it will be difficult coz flowers are 'flowers' but it looks cute in these recipes and they also look cute in my garden trays in the summer. So prefer the visual than the edible side of flowers.

Fabulous..love this

So beautiful! The only question is how to make your significant other eat the flowers -.-
