Frosting Fruits (Frosted Fruits)

Frosted, or sugared, fruits make pretty decorations for cold desserts or petits fours, while sugared flowers, rose petals or mint leaves enhance small cakes and pastries. Small bunches of grapes or fresh currants are particularly attractive when frosted in sugar. Cape gooseberries and strawberries may also be sugared. Frosted fruits should be used on the day they are made.
