Preparation
- Dust your work surface with cornstarch to prevent sticking.
- In a large bowl, beat egg whites until soft peaks form. Gradually add powdered sugar, mixing until smooth and thick.
- Fold in the corn syrup and water, ensuring everything is combined to form a workable dough.
- Divide the mixture into separate bowls for each color you wish to create. Add a few drops of food coloring to each bowl and mix until the colors are vibrant.
- Using your hands, take small portions of the colored dough and shape them into flower-like designs. Use cookie cutters for uniform shapes or your hands for more artistic approaches.
- Place the shaped flowers on a parchment-lined baking sheet and let them dry for several hours or overnight to harden.
- Once fully dried, your Colorful Sugar Flowers are ready to adorn your favorite desserts or enjoy as a sweet treat on their own.
Notes
For an egg-free option, consider using aquafaba (chickpea brine) as a substitute for the egg whites. Allow sugar flowers to dry longer during humid conditions for proper hardening. Use a light touch when shaping to avoid cracks or breaks.
