Instead of real flowers, try this delightful and edible bouquet for your loved ones on Valentine's Day or other special occasions.
Ingredients
- 4 strawberries
- 1 slice of watermelon
- 2 kiwis
- 1 slice of cantaloupe
- 2 slices of mango
- 33 mini candy eyes
- 50 grams dark chocolate
- curved sprinkles
- parchment paper
- petal-shaped cookie cutters
- round cookie cutters
- piping utensil / bag
Instructions
Serves 6.
1. Slice the fruit into equally thick pieces.
2. Cut 6 petals and 1 round center for each flower you make.
3. Melt the dark chocolate.
4. Once the chocolate has cooled down a bit, add it to a piping bag and pipe out the stems onto parchment paper. You can add a few chocolate leaf details, too.
5. When the chocolate has set, arrange the flowers and top with candy eyes and a curved sprinkle for the mouth.
6. To make the bee, use a small petal-shaped cookie cutter and mango. For the wings, I used a metal straw and for the stripes a tiny bit of plum peel (you can use chocolate too). Top with a small candy eye.
