    Call the health department. They will act pretty quickly. The bakery needs to know not to use non-food items in their food. Also, people can have severe reactions to Baby’s Breath.

    Oh? But I thought these were ‘display only’?

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

    Using plants for decoration this way – especially the non edible ones – is lazy and stupid. Call the health department. Tell them you didn’t know it wasn’t edible and there are no warnings stating otherwise.

    Upvoting because I saw that post as well and it concerns me they aren’t going to at least stop doing it. Especially before it ruins their business.

    Why are we casually putting toxic garnish on desserts like it’s normal?? I trusted the cupcake.

    did you consume it? i’m so sorry. it’s stupid for them to put something non edible and toxic on food!

    the amount of toxins it it should be low, but it may cause gastrointestinal distress like vomiting or and diarrhea, or skin irritation. if you’re worried i would see a medical professional.

    and back the health department! the bakery shouldn’t be doing this.

    idk what the laws are where this is but in the Netherlands poisonous stuff may not be served with food, even if its decoration. This is really dangerous

    What’s with the suspicious looking red liquid?

  10. librarians_wwine

    I just know someone has tried to eat that. Please call the health department, write a review too about this. Glad you’re ok.

    As a child with PICA baby’s breath was one of my favorite treats 😳

  12. ChronicSassyRedhead

    The thing I don’t understand is why babies breath? Like it looks so bizarre just sticking out like that. There are so many food things they could of used instead or just left it plain plus the blood splatter is really unappealing 😳

    lol I was here for the first part of this baby’s breath saga, I guess this is a part 2

  14. BoldlyBajoran

    Is it possible it’s a fake flower that is edible? But yeah this is not safe.

  15. Vivid-Intention-8161

    as someone who works with baby’s breath it also just smells like shit i don’t know why anyone would put it near food

  16. Historical-Ad-6738

    Not as cute as it seems for a variety of reasons

  17. Bobbiduke

    Why are there drops of blood on these plates lol

  18. Rae-Swallows

    I would 100% pull it out and lick the icing off the stem… I would then die whatever horrible death this would cause.

  19. Asphyxia_

    Pesticides in the stem, also non edible. Not a good idea

  20. It’s NYC, yes? What bakery is this so I can avoid!

  21. Impossible-Cover589

    Had to double check. This is the SECOND post I’ve seen about this today, which is heavily concerning as I’m not following r/Baking and am just browsing through the home.

  22. ButterscotchSea8805

    I love the ominous drops of what look like blood on the plate

  23. OpalOnyxObsidian

    This doesn’t even look that good. What’s the point of the flowers

  24. ithinktreesaregreat

    Has anyone said the name of this bakery or where it is?? I don’t want to give my money to a business that not only puts toxic substances on food, but lies to customers when they ask about it.

  25. Horror_Macaroon4320

    Never mind the health hazard, baby breath cupcake sound absolutely disgusting!

  26. IndependentFormal705

    It looks like something a sweet, clueless kid would do to give to their mom for Mother’s Day, not what you’d expect (food safety or aesthetics-wise) from an actual cafe.

  27. Mimziie91

    Baby’s breath are toxic, I don’t understand how bakery don’t know that!!!

  28. Lilo_the_Lost

    This post may also fit into r/StupidFood 🤭

  29. NOLArtist02

    So the blood droplets are appropriate as decoration in this case? When i saw the original post of the person asking if they were overreacting to the cupcake topped with babys breath, i thought looks like a crime scene.

  30. paulovitorfb

    Was there foil separating the flowers from the cream? I need to knowwww

  31. AgileMastodon0909

    The baby’s breath is a problem but also, why does it look like there’s drops of blood on that plate?

  32. fizzycherryseltzer

    I’m so invested in this baby breath cupcake saga!

  33. jemasbeeky

    Baby’s Breath is produced by Israel by the way. If you see it in the US there’s a 99% chance it’s imported from Israel. Just wanted to mention as a Jew who stopped buying anything with this flower after learning this. Free Palestine!

    Poison on the cupcake, blood on the plate.

    Someone is sending you a message and it’s not a friendly one.

  35. The worst part is… it looks bad. This is so ugly? Am I the only one?
