Happy Tuesday loves! Recipe of the day is Turkish Delight & Rose Petals Cupcakes – gorgeous little cakes, perfect for Valentine’s day.
These mini cakes are bursting with rose flavour. There’s a hidden Turkish delight centre, that is simply delicious and aromatic rose petals on top, which are actually edible! How brilliant that is! Thanks to Buy Wholefoods Online I got my hands on these lovely rose petals that will be my ‘best friend’ from now on, when baking. Not only they are pretty and give a beautiful finish to my creations but they’re also very fragrant.
It’s almost like biting into a rose – you get the rosy flavour of the Turkish delight and then the rose petals add an extra rose kick. That makes them a great gift for your loved ones, I mean, my family definitely appreciated them (everything was destroyed in a couple of hours) and I even got a request to make another batch soon.
