What i would do is go to your local bakery and ask the cake decorator..they should know about edible flowers ,and how to clean them properly and keep them fresh looking,possible a florist would know this also.
Reply:Make sure you use organic flowers. They'll be safe to eat, because they're grown without pesticides.
Reply:if you use edible or non-toxic flowers that are preferrably organic (but not necaessary if you wash them) you will be fine just putting them on the cake directly...but don't put them on the cake until just before you serve it or at least an hour or two before b/c they can start to wilt....also a good idea to keep the cake refrigerated with the flowers on it until you display or serve it...look online for a list of nontoxic flowers..good luck!
Reply:If the flowers are edible you can just put them directly on the cake. The link below gives a good long list of edible flowers. If there's frosting on the cake, that will hold them in place.
Reply:Try looking in a health food store such as Whole Foods, they have different varieties of edible flowers.
Reply:Just place them on but place them in the refridgerator the day before leave enough stem for them to go down into the cake
Reply:First...use an edible flower..like marigolds...others are poisonous

Second...I would just go ahead and clean them and then put them on in a decorative way, just the tops though
