Frequently asked questions
- How do you use candied rose petals? There are plenty of ways to use your petals! Chop them up and stir them directly into cake batters, bread doughs, teas, and jellies for added texture and flavor. Or, if you’re looking for a simple and sophisticated way to garnish your desserts, edible flowers are a stunning way to decorate tarts, cakes, and even doughnuts.
- How long do candied rose petals last? The petals are best used as soon as they harden, so ideally within the same 24 hours. You can keep them in an airtight container at room temperature, however, the petals will begin to wilt and soften the longer they’re stored.
- What other flower petals can you candy? In addition to rose petals, jasmine, violas, sage flowers, thyme flowers, and pansies are delicious when coated in egg white and sugar. If you use wild flowers, avoid picking them from roadways and places exposed to pollution or toxic chemicals. Not every flower petal is edible!
