Edible flowers offer great decoration options for all kinds of treats. Besides their beautiful colours, they have much more to offer. They have no taste of their own and therefore do not alter the flavour of the actual product. This makes them suitable for sweet treats such as Éclairs and Pralines, but also for salads and savoury snacks. Use this mix to create treats as colourful as a flower meadow.

How to use - Edible flowers

The flowers are completely natural and can be eaten without any concerns. The drying process gives them a long shelf life and a special appearance. They can be used for almost any dish. With salads, ravioli or a soup, the petals can simply be scattered over or around the dish.

If you want to create elegant Macarons with an original decoration, sprinkle a few petals over the piped shells. It looks particularly striking when the flowers and the shells are slightly different colours. They hold well in the still-sticky dough, which then dries out and is baked. Bread can also be decorated this way. If the dough is not very sticky, simply brush it with a little water or egg. Keep an eye on the baking time here too. Of course the petals may darken, so it is best to use them on small rolls or to add them to large loaves only afterwards.

The uses for Edible flowers are vast — you can also use them for most sweet baked goods. Create stunning Éclairs with a natural touch by scattering a few petals onto the still-soft icing. Cakes, cupcakes, biscuits, creams and much more can be decorated in much the same way. The dried petals adhere well to sticky substances such as Buttercream, various types of glaze, soft Cake icing, toppings and creams.

If you'd like to use them on dried icings or Fondant-decorated treats, a little Edible glue is all you need as an aid. Brush the surface with it, scatter the petals on, and they'll stay in place.

Edible flowers are also wonderful for Pralines. First the hollow shells are filled with a melt-in-the-mouth Ganache, then sealed with high-quality couverture. A few petals are placed on the still-soft couverture, and once it has set, the Pralines are unmoulded and ready to give as a gift or to enjoy.
