How to Make Candied Edible Flowers

Candied flowers are a wonderful way to decorate even the simplest dish. They are a wonderful addition to dress up a cocktail party or make a simple cake pop. This simple food craft will wow your friends and make them think you spent hours.

Instructions

Cut the stem off the flower with scissors (see Resources for a link to types of edible flowers).

Dilute egg whites with 2 teaspoons of water. You can substitute the egg whites with pasteurized liquid egg whites.

Brush petals with the egg wash on all sides. Using tweezers to hold the petals will make it easier.

Sprinkle the petals with the superfine sugar.

Place sugared petals on a baking sheet lined with wax paper and allow to dry.

Place the baking sheets in a warm, dry place until the the petals are completely dry. Turn them so that moisture doesn't build up underneath them. It should take 2 to 4 days for the petals to dry completely.

Store in an air-tight glass jar. They will keep for about a month.

Tips & Warnings

Use to garnish food, drinks, desserts or decorate cakes. You can also dip the petals into the sugar and shake off the excess.
