Is dried gypsophila safe for cakes?
Dried gypsophila is commonly used in cake decoration, but it’s not considered edible. Always use food-safe barriers (like florist tape or picks), and check with your cake designer or florist before use.
Can you dye dried gypsophila?
Yes, dried gypsophila takes dye well. You can use floral spray paint or dip it to create custom colours, though we also offer pre-tinted options in a wide range of tones.
How do you style dried gypsophila in a vase?
Trim the stems to varying heights and fan them out to create fullness. Use narrow-neck vases for a gathered look or mix with structured stems like palm spears or grasses for contrast.
Does dried gypsophila have a scent?
Dried gypsophila may have a faint, earthy aroma. It’s not overpowering and usually fades over time. If needed, let the stems air before styling.
