How to Crystalize (Sugar Coat) Pansies or other Edible Flowers
Love flowers on your cake, but don't want to mess with icing? Here is a quick alternative that is colorful and edible.
***Before choosing/using any flower/fauna for decorating purposes, you need to verify that it is safe to eat. I have provided links to sites that can help you with this.
Things You'll Need
- Edible Flowers
- Pasturized egg white or
- Granulated sugar
- Air Tight Container
- Paper Towels
- Spoon
- Food safe paint brush
Instructions
-
Wash your flowers-Gently! Then using your paper towel pat them dry. Then spread them out on paper towels or newsprint.
-
Using your egg wash and food safe paint brush, gently spread a small amount of egg white over the petals of your flower.
-
Now you will want to sprinkle your sugar over the egg white. Gently, lift your flowers and shake off excess sugar. Now you will want to let them dry in a warm spot for about an hour. Assuming that you are using fresh flowers, they will only be good for a couple of days. If you are using dried or pressed flowers, you can then store them in a air tight container in a dark cabinet for a few months.
