Bread is a staple all around the world, but its importance was magnified during quarantine. Nash & Noah’s have put their own delicate spin on the beloved dinner rolls by adding edible flowers on top of each bun. The homebased food business’s floral soft butter rolls are completely handmade and baked fresh every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday.

When you think of pasta, the immediate association is usually herbs or spices, but Hello Stranger Supper Club has made a strong case for flowers in your pappardelle. Inspired by chef Ellie Estrada’s late grandmother (aptly named Fluer de Liz), this fresh pasta is made by laminating edible flowers between sheets of pasta dough. You’re going to have to wait to order though. Hello Stranger is currently on hiatus to revamp their business, but they’ll be back soon enough to satisfy your aesthetic pasta needs and other cravings.

Although these snow globe cheesecakes are not made from edible flowers per se, they’re still an absolutely stunning work of edible art. Each jello cheesecake is painstakingly crafted by hand, so no two are alike.
