Let’s make Frosting for our Love Cake!

7. Mix together:

  • 1 cup (100 g) Powdered Sugar

  • 2 tsp Rose Water

  • 4-5 tsp Lemon Juice

    Gradually add Lemon Juice to control the consistency of the Frosting. It will look transparent on a cake if it’s too runny

8. Separate the petals from edible dried roses. We recommend discarding yellow inner petals

9. Decorate the Frosting right away before it sets completely.

I also used Freeze-Dried Strawberries from Trader Joe’s since I didn't have Raw Pistachios at the moment and it worked fine

10. Enjoy!
