Does anyone know how to make sugared flowers !? also, other then roses what flowers can be used!.They will be put on cupcakes!Www@FoodAQ@Com
Answers: You might find several techniques and ingredients online, but a method that has always worked for me is to use powdered egg whites (they are pasturized and can be used safely even in uncooked recipes such as sugared flowers)!. Read the instructions to reconstitute them!.
Flowers that look pretty and are edible, are daisies, pansies, marigolds, violets and even dandelions!.
*******Make sure your flowers come from a reliable source and are absolutely certain they have not been sprayed with pesticides!!!*****
Pick up a flower petal with either a large sewing needle or tweezers and using a small brush (a small paintbrush works), brush on a bit of egg white!. (I prefer this method to dipping the petal into the egg white - it is neater and you don't get globs of egg white on the petal, which would take forever to dry)!.
Hold the petal over a bowl and sprinkle liberally with superfine sugar (regular sugar could work in a pinch but it doesn't stick as well, is heavier and doesn't have the diamond shine of the superfine)!.
Lay the petals on waxed paper to dry (turning over when one side feels dry to the touch)!. Use a small dot of frosting or icing to adhere the petal to the cupcakes!Www@FoodAQ@Com

Edible Sugar Decorations
Using any candy makers mold you can create your own edible sugar decorations for cakes, cookies or cupcakes!.
Recipe
2 cups Granulated sugar
4 tsp Water
1/4 tsp Meringue powder
Food coloring (optional)
Mix by hand, kneading for about 1 minute until sugar is moistened and packs like wet sand!. Keep mixture covered with a damp cloth!. Add 1/4 tsp meringue powder for strength!.
To tint, substitute part liquid food color for water in recipe!. Tinted sugar makes the pretties molded decorations!.
To make sugar molds, pack the sugar mixture into mold as firmly as possible!. To make multicolored mold, start with features and press the desired tinted sugars into mold!. When making more than 4 sugar decorations from the same mold, dust mold with cornstarch to prevent sticking!. Scrape off excess sugar mixture with a spatula, so top is even with edge of mold!. Unmold sugar at once by placing cardboard over mold!. Turn mold and cardboard upside down and lift mold off releasing sugar shape!. Let dry 5 hours or in 200 degree oven for 5-10 min!.
If using a large sugar mold you can decorate with royal icing using your favorite decorator tipsWww@FoodAQ@Com
Use royal icing!.

-----------------
Make sure you put enough sugar!. If you spoon it out, it should retain it's shape, it should not ooze back into the mixture!. That is a sign it is too thin and will not give you flowers!.
