Want to have a taste of the royal wedding right in your own home? You don’t have to be royal to feel like royalty. Try creating elderflower recipes inspired by Harry and Meghan’s Lemon Elderflower cake and celebrate this year’s most awaited union.

Elderflower

Elderflower is an odd but interesting choice for a wedding cake. Elderflowers are edible white blossoms that grow on roadside hedges. They are believed to contain medicinal properties and can taste quite unpleasant before cooking. When prepared properly, however, elderflowers become sweet and fragrant. Perfect enough to bake a cake with or even mixed in with liquors.  For mixing cocktails with elderflowers, you can try the following gorgeous recipes.
