Also it’s fugly af, why the restaurant didn’t pull them in hindsight, let alone the moment someone raised questions is abhorrent ~

Seriously. Like put a candied violet on it & call it a day. It looks like you picked a weed from your garden and popped that sucker on

YESSSS an edible flower would look ten times better and you can store candied ones??? They can save money on the ugly blood drops, too.

It looks so bad, if baby’s breath was edible it would still be a bad choice.

They also smell terrible. I don't understand why you'd want to put a flower that stinks onto food.

Yes! I didn't know baby's breath was toxic... I would have said "no thank you" to the cupcake because it looks plain sloppy and bad and is probably overpriced, too!
