Sugared violets

Here is a really dainty way to finish little cakes or petit fours. Check fresh edible rose petals and violets are clean.


Lightly beat an egg-white. Using a small brush, brush a little of the egg-white onto the flowers and petals.


Dip in caster sugar and set aside on a plate to dry for 15 minutes. Pop onto iced cakes for a sweet finishing touch.


Note: Always check the flowers you are using are edible.
