Fruit, dried and rebuilt into flowers

Dried fruit petals, built into flowers and arranged into bouquets — beautiful, nutritious, and entirely edible. Taught step by step in the e-course.

How it works

Slice it, dry it, create it

  1. Fresh mango, ready for the trays

    01

    Slice

    It begins with the right fruit, cut the right way. Get this wrong and nothing that follows will hold its shape.

  2. Laid out to dry

    02

    Dry

    Patience does the work here. Rush it and you get crisps — get it right, and you get petals.

  3. Building a flower by hand

    03

    Create

    Petals become flowers, flowers become a bouquet. By the end it looks like it came from a florist — and it is entirely edible.

Before you ask

Questions, answered straight

Do I need any experience?

No. The course starts at choosing fruit and works forward. If you can use a knife and follow a recipe, you can do this.

What equipment do I actually need?

A dehydrator, a mandolin or sharp knife, a microwave-safe bowl, and a cutting mat. Nothing exotic, and nothing that only has one use.

What materials do I need?

Fruit, pretzels, dried nuts and chocolate — plus packaging if you are giving them away. The materials list comes with the course, and the kits in the shop cover everything except the fruit.

How long do the finished bouquets last?

[Maria to answer — shelf life, and how to store them.]

Can I sell what I make?

[Maria to answer — whether students may sell their work, and anything they should know about selling food locally.]

How long do I have access?

[Maria to answer — lifetime access is the usual promise, but it is hers to make.]

What if it is not for me?

[Maria to answer — a refund window, if she wants to offer one. A guarantee is the single strongest thing on a sales page, but only she can promise it.]

The bloomery

Edible Fruit & Flower Art Design

Once upon a time, we wondered: why should flowers only be for looking? In our whimsical bloomery, we have found a way to catch the sun in a petal and turn it into something you can eat.

The edible dried flowers showed us that in nature the possibilities are endless, and that we are still at the beginning.

Our mission

Converting the natural greatness of fruit into beautiful edible flowers. With these bouquets you get more than beauty for your eyes — you get the whole nutrient packet, in the shape of a flower.
