This week in the office


The girls are busy wrapping presents for Wednesday nights special Viva event.

Sugared Flowers



With the holiday season and Christmas parties beginning, make your own sugared flowers for edible decorations - this is really easy and they look gorgeous on a cake, table, present, or dessert!
WHAT TO DO:
1. Start with a bowl of whisked egg whites*, a bowl of caster sugar, a paintbrush and some edible flowers, such as violets, rose petals or lavender.

2. Brush the egg white carefully onto the front & back of the petals of the flower, making sure to cover every part.

3.Dust, dip, or paint the sugar onto the wet petals.

4. Leave to dry on a cooling rack, then use in any number of creative ways - decorating cakes and cupcakes is our favourite use for them.

Post some photos of your finished flowers on Facebook and tag 'CITTA DESIGN' so we can see the results.


*add a touch of water to the egg whites before whisking.
