Description

Crystallised flowers are very easy to make and will preserve your precious flowers for a little longer! The key is to take your time brushing the egg white on with a small brush rather than dipping, which will weigh the petals down and create lumps. Use them to garnish cakes or other desserts. 

  1. Use a small (unused!) paintbrush to coat the flowers in egg white.
  2. Sprinkle with sugar and shake off the excess.
  3. Place on a sheet of baking paper and allow to dry for 24 hours until fully hard.
