Asked on 13 Feb 2026 by BERNICE Allen

Hi Lindsey,
Can I use feathers as cake decoration, even if I dip them in food safe wax?

Hello Bernice,

I don’t know from experience about the wax suggestion, but I’m doubtful.

If I had to do a feather decoration I would purchase edible feather decorations or make them with a silicone mould or purchase clean craft feathers and keep the little ones away.
