Pick out 6-12 roses in your favorite colors. Separate the petals and pile them on a plate. Note: if you plan to nibble, you must buy organic roses so that you're not munching on pesticides!

Prepare:
• Create an egg wash by stirring together one egg white with 1 tsp. of water. Stir just to mix! Mixture should stay transparent.
• Lightly brush the egg wash over each petal. You can use your fingertip or a small pastry brush. Simply swab the main surface area; you don't have to cover every millimeter.
• Sprinke superfine sugar over the petals, and lay them out on a wire rack to dry for a few moments, then place them on baking sheets in a 175 degree oven. At this low temperature, they should slowly crisp up without changing color, in about 45 minutes - 1 hour. Monitor them carefully so that they don't get too done.
Here are some of our favorite things to do with candied rose petals:
- Sprinkle over a salad - Decorate a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream - Heap over a cheese platter - Pile on the table ... whatever and wherever you like!
