Candied Flowers make the most beautiful decorations for the tops of cakes!
* Use only clean flowers which have not been sprayed with chemicals. Flowers should be freshly-picked and dry. Small flowers such as violets should be candied whole; candy the individual petals of larger flowers. Using a soft brush, coat each flower petal with egg white.
Flowers: Clover, chrysanthemums, crab apple blossoms, day lilies, daisies, dandelions, elderberry blossoms, freesias, geraniums, gladioluses, lilacs, marigolds, nasturtiums, orange blossoms, pansies, primroses, roses and violets.
Use caution when using raw egg whites.
