🌸 Glassy Garden Bites

✨ What Are They?

Glassy Garden Bites are translucent crystal-like snacks made from soft jelly rice and decorated with edible floral art. They’re soft, magical, and stunning from every angle – and unlike anything you’ve seen online.

📝 Ingredients

• 1 cup sticky rice (Japanese style), cooked
• 1/2 cup cornstarch
• 1/3 cup water
• 2 tbsp sugar
• Natural coloring: beet juice, butterfly pea, matcha, carrot
• Edible gelatin sheets (plant-based optional)
• Optional filling: sweetened coconut cream or soft cheese
• Floral cutouts from jelly or fruit leather

👨‍🍳 How to Create the Magic

1. Make a clear jelly base by cooking cornstarch, water, and sugar until translucent.
2. Pour into small dome molds or round silicone trays.
3. Cut flower shapes from colored jelly or fruit sheets.
4. Embed flowers into each jelly dome and seal with a thin layer of the mixture.
5. Insert filling if desired before sealing.
6. Chill for 30–45 minutes until firm and glass-like.

📸 Tips for Presentation

• Serve on white or glass platters to highlight the colors.
