I made a trip again to one of my favorite garden centers, Hilltop Farm, in Dover, Missouri. While I was there, I photographed several flowers, and bought several more to add to the collection on my deck and in my yard. This white rose is one of the flowers I photographed, and then, of course, played with in Photoshop!
I am also including an article and link below on candied flowers. If you use rose petals, or any other flowers or herbs, just be sure they are free of pesticides!
From The Herb Companion...
What goes better with a cup of tea than a tiny frosted cake topped with candied violets and mint leaves? The perky flower faces with their sugared whiskers are bound to put a smile on the day. I await the blooming of the first violets of the season not only for their color and fragrance, but also as a signal that I can start replenishing my stock of the candied flowers I enjoy all year.

Hey, that's not awfully far from here. I guess I will make a trip on a weekend when it isn't raining.
I love how you treated the photo. Very pretty.
