Candied rose petals can be prepared in advance and directly before serving. Roses from the flower shop are not suitable in any case! They are treated with chemicals. It is best to rip out the roses in your garden. I presented a girlfriend, which its country. Three days of roses stood in the vase, and then I have to let them "in case" - pulled off the petals and wash them under running cold water. Put to dry on a paper towel.

The next step - we need protein from the eggs and fine sugar. Pour a small portion of protein in a small container, put back a petal and gently lubricated with a brush on all sides. Don't need very thick wet petals. Over once more than 3-5 lobes, it does not "paint", protein can dry out and the sugar will be up to him bad stick. If the petals are without protein and sugar (this is usually the edge), long-term storage pouchot, so give these areas more attention.

Lay the wet petals on a paper towel, sprinkled with sugar or powdered sugar, sprinkle with sugar petal on one side, then flip and do the same on the other side. From experience I can say that the powder sticks better and holds longer than petals, but they look nicer with sand. Therefore, if you plan to store a couple of months, use the powder, if a week or two or sugar. After all the petals are in the sugar, leave them to dry for half an hour. During this time, turn out a couple of times to sticking to the paper. The whole process is not as long as it seems. Photo fresh sugared petals.

And it's petals, processed sugar. They have had 5 days. As you can see, I added some color, but still look pretty. Now they can shift into a jar for storage, proclaim two or three napkins to keep going moisture. A jar to hold half-open, in a dark closet.

Now you can do the basics of baking our cakes. For Foundation mix cold cream with cold cream cheese and sugar, put in fridge (I confess, I skipped this step).

Add the sifted flour, egg, salt, vanilla sugar and baking powder.

Knead the dough, roll it in a fairly thick layer and cut out circles with a diameter of 3 see Bake at 200 degrees in preheated oven for 15 minutes.

For cream you can use different products. Very tasty and nice look of whipped heavy cream with sugar. I whipped the cottage cheese, sugar, cream 20% fat. You can add cream instead of fatty sour cream or condensed milk (but then sugar to be deleted). Pour the cream (cream, condensed milk) gradually, achieving the desired consistency to the cream nicely and evenly lay down on the Foundation. I roughly indicated the proportions of the ingredients, but look for their products. I added half a teaspoon svezhevydoennogo beet juice to the cream was a soft pink hue. Apply the cream using a pastry bag onto the cooled workpiece, decorate with rose petals.

Bon appetit!
