Preparation

Step 1

Cut the pastila into 2.5-3 cm strips. It's best to use different shades of pastila to create more beautiful flowers.

Step 2

Cut each strip of pastila with scissors, leaving 5-7 mm from the edge. The thinner the slices, the more delicate the finished flower will be.

Step 3

Take the strip with the cut pieces and begin folding it inward from one end. Continue this process until you reach the other end of the pastila. Place the finished flower in a corrugated cup (the kind you use for cupcakes).

Step 4

To decorate the flower, you can make additional leaves. To do this, take a green pastila (such as kiwi) and cut out a small square. Fold it in half and cut out the shape of a leaf.

Step 5

Place the finished leaf on the bottom of the mold. Place the marshmallow flower on top. This completes the creation of the incredibly beautiful marshmallow.

The finished pastila can be shaped in a variety of ways. Some cut it into triangles and roll them into small rolls, while others make a large roll and then cut it into individual pieces.

The author of the channel "Bauer Snacks. PASTILA & CO." invites viewers to get acquainted with her own vision of the beautiful design of this delicacy. She makes roses made from marshmallow for bouquets, which look simply stunning. The flower size can be completely different. It all depends on how wide you cut the marshmallow strip.

Advice

Pastila flowers can be arranged in a gift box. To do this, create several flowers and decorate them with leaves. You can complement the finished arrangement with clips made from dried pears, apples, mangoes, and other fruits.
