We had such a pleasure this week to interview Emma from Emma Dodi Cakes in London, England. Creating one of a kind work, this inspiring and enthusiastic artist shed light on balancing a focus on others and oneself. She taught us how creating time for yourself can not only lead to personal joys, but delightful success! Whether it’s making macarons or growing your own cut flowers, the smallest effort to make time for yourself is extremely valuable. Someday we hope to go across “the pond” and try her beautiful creations!

For a bit of inspirational fun, we’ve included flowers we think would pair nicely with each of her creations.

Calendulas are beautiful as an accent cut flower or a fun way to add edible petals or color to food. View our Pink Surprise Calendula.

Pansies are excellent candidates for creating homemade edible flower decorations, pressed or fresh. View our Matrix Series Pansy.

Just like Emma’s macarons, these Chamomile flowers will brighten up a garden with their sunshine yellow.

Carnations are another classic and staple for cut flower gardens. View our Chabaud Series Carnation.

Check out our Edible Flower Seed Set to start growing your bundle of beautiful and edible blooms. Includes: Calendula, Pansy, Snapdragon, Nasturtium, and Marigold seeds.
