Edible flowers offer wonderful decoration options for all kinds of treats. Besides their beautiful colours, they have so 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 makes them long-lasting and gives them a special appearance. They can be used with almost any dish. For 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 especially great when the flowers and the shells are slightly different colours. They hold well in the still-sticky dough, which then dries 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. Bear in mind the baking time, though. The petals may naturally 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 enormous — you can also use them for most sweet baked goods. Create beautiful Éclairs with a natural touch by scattering a few petals over the still-soft icing. Cakes, cupcakes, biscuits, creams and much more can be decorated in a very similar way. The dried petals adhere well to sticky mixtures such as Buttercream, various types of icing, soft Cake icing, toppings and creams.

If you would like to use them on dried icings or treats decorated with Fondant, a little Edible glue is all you need as an aid. Brush the surface with it, scatter the petals on top, and they will hold.

Edible flower 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 dried, the Pralines are unmoulded and ready to give as gifts or enjoy.
