Edible flowers offer wonderful decoration options for all kinds of treats. In addition to 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, as well as for salads and savoury delights.

How to use - Edible flowers

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

To create elegant Macarons with an original decoration, sprinkle a few petals over the piped shells. The effect is especially striking when the flowers and the shells are in slightly different colours. They adhere well to the still-sticky dough, which then dries and is baked. Bread can be decorated in the same way. If it does not stick well enough, simply brush with a little water or egg. Do keep an eye on the baking time here. There is a chance the petals may darken, so it is best to use them on small rolls or to add them to large loaves only afterwards.

The range of uses for edible flowers is huge — you can also use them for most sweet pastries. Create beautiful 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 preparations such as Buttercream, various types of icing, soft Cake icing, toppings and creams.

If you would like to use them on dried icings or Fondant-decorated treats, a little Edible glue is all you need. Simply brush the surface, scatter the petals on top, and they will stay in place.

Edible petals 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 simply to enjoy.
