sugared violets

I’ve been making some sugared violets to decorate chocolate cupcakes. It is something that I’ve always meant to do, after I read about it somewhere, and saw how expensive sugared violets are. All you need is egg white, and superfine sugar. You just dip the violet in the egg white, (you can also use a little brush, to paint it on, as the violet sometimes folds up on itself when you dip it.) Then dip it in superfine sugar, (or sprinkle it) and voila! I am not so sure I would want to eat them, but I think they’ll look lovely on some chocolate cupcakes!
