You may ask, "What is a Cristallisees?" A Cristallisees is an actual flower, petal, or leaf that has been incased in crystalized sugar. Making these wonderful creations is a very labor-intensive process, all done by hand. Can you imagine, each item has to be gently created one at a time!

The Cristallisees may be used to decorate cakes, petit fours, cookies, or served as shown above, with coffee or your favorite tea.  I love to make a Champagne Cocktail with the Violette Sirop and finish it off with a Violette Cristalisees placed in the champagne flute.  Lovely!
