Eat Your Flowers by Loria Stern is a baking brand specializing in handcrafted, botanical treats like shortbread cookies, vegan and paleo-friendly snack bars, handcrafted cakes and more. With a cookbook of the same name, Eat Your Flowers also offers baking supplies that are made with organically grown and locally sourced flowers, like its edible flower kits and Edible Flowerfetti™ Sprinkles.
The sprinkles are made with dried flowers, with each petal and herb handpicked, dried, and meticulously curated to bring flavor and color to culinary creations. In addition to being a lovely cake garnish, Edible Flowerfetti™ Sprinkles can be used in salads, soups, ice creams and can even be infused with hot water for a fragrant tea experience.
