Sugar Coating or Crystalizing Flowers

  1. Lightly whisk egg whites
  2. Use a small fine brush to completely cover the flower petals
  3. Sprinkle the flower with superfine granulated sugar (found in the baking section of your store)
  4. NOTE: The sugar can be colored to match the flower by mixing in a little petal dusting powder.
  5. Shake off the excess sugar and dry the flowers completely. Small ones can be left to dry on power towels. Larger flowers, such as roses, wrap a piece of wire around the stem, and dry hanging upside down from a glass or other suitable item to avoid squashing the petals.
