Did you know you can easily prepare your own edible sugar flowers for cakes? And this recipe will tell you how. This way you can easily decorate tarts.
My oldest got a party. And I want some sweets with coffee. My idea: cupcakes with sugar flowers. So cute, although my eldest doesn't like that a lot. Although it seems attractive to him weirdly.
Today I started with the preparation, sugar flowers. And here is the result.
Not bad I thought. These lavender cupcakes, I decorated with them.
- Take fresh, strong flowers. Put them until you start using them in the water. Slack flowers give a bad result.
- Use edible flowers (not all flowers are edible) and organic flowers or from your own garden (if you don’t use pesticides)
- Brush the entire leaf, stem, and leaves (if any) with the egg whites. Don’t skip a thing.
- Mix the egg lightly, but do not knock it.
- Lay the flowers on a plate or plate and move them after a second of 10. Otherwise, they will stick on the board and won’t get off.
- These decorations are easy to store in a dry place. They remain well for a few months. You can even add a bag of rice with a jar of sugar flowers to scavenge water.
