Edible flowers, petals and freeze-dried fruits make a dish look pretty and delicate – and they also add a flavour profile that may not be available year-round. Freeze-dried raspberries, strawberries and blueberries give colour pop, without the bleed you might get with frozen varieties. Finish your dish with crushed dried berry sprinkles, or dust dried fruit powder over the top. • Use seasonal spring fruit and veg add colour and balance to a rich, creamy dessert. • Gold, silver or rose gold dusting powders or playful fluttering flakes are a quick and cheap way to elevate a dessert. • Chocolate makes everything special! Chocolate shards are one of the most affordable and easy ways to take your desserts into the stratosphere. Melt chocolate until liquid and glossy, then pour onto lined baking sheets. Make patterns if liked, then allow to set. Crack into shards or pipe into decorative designs or random works of art! Store in a sealed container in a cool place.
