- Gently rinse the flowers and leaves in icy cold water, remove the stems and set on a paper towel to dry.
- Put the egg white and water in a small bowl and whip lightly with a fork, or hand-held whisk, allow to sit until the foam settles.
- Fill a small, shallow plate with the sugar.
- When the flowers are completely dry use a clean soft paint brush to paint one side of the blossom with the egg wash, then sprinkle with sugar.
- Lay each blossom on waxed paper and set aside to dry.
- When dry repeat the process on the other side, let air dry. Do not try to speed up the process by placing them in an oven, even at low temperature;this will turn them brown! Once they're completely dry use the to decorate all your wonderful confections!

<p>I am a young cook and as a child I was always watching cooking shows. My favorite thing to do was to pretend I was hosting a show behind the breakfast bar, lol, but I love the cooking, love the food. I am very eager to try new recipes, and that's why I am here! <br /><img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/adoptedspring08.jpg alt= /> <br /><br />Visit my shop by clicking the provided link to access a variety of Dominican products!</p>
