Being dexterity-challenged when it comes to icing, I was excited to discover edible lace rosettes as a super easy alternative to the fighting with a piping bag. You might have spotted them in the cake buffet last week, but did you know they can also be added to tea or coffee? They last a couple of minutes before dissolving, leaving a nice sweet taste.

Next time you’re having friends over for afternoon tea, pop an edible doily in the tea or on top of a store-bought biccie to up the ’special’ factor with no fuss.
