  • Quicktips for edible-flowers:

    • Turn an ordinary occasion into extraordinary by placing an edible flower in each of several champagne flutes, and fill with sparkling soda, juice champagne or wine.
    • An easy and light dessert is to grill bananas sliced in half, drizzle with honey and sprinkle edible flower petals all over.
    • For a divine flower butter, blend 1 stick unsalted butter, at room temp, with 1/3c flower petals.  Serve in mini crock with warm French baguettes.
    • Cupcakes are for everybody; especially when each one holds edible flowers!  Pour cupcake batter into muffin tins 1/3 full, divide flowers among 12 cupcakes, top with remaining batter and bake as directed.  Serve frosted with additional flowers as garnish.
    • Slice a loaf of pound cake in half, spread ½ jar fruit preserves on one half, then put back together.  Chill for 30 + minutes or more.    Cut into cubes and layer with fresh whipped cream and edible flowers for a delightful parfait.  Garnish the top of each with sprig of fresh Mint.
