Red Wafer Mini Roses with Leaves — Floreal
Floreal red mini roses with green leaves are ready-to-use edible wafer decorations for professional pastry work. Each box contains 200 pieces (item 23201) made from corn starch, water and food colours (E102, E110, E124, E129, E133), with no gluten. They are placed directly on cakes, single portions and semifreddos with no preparation, turning a plain dessert into a finished showcase piece in seconds.
What They Are
These decorations belong to the tradition of wafer flowers: ultra-light edible pieces shaped from a corn starch and water base, then coloured with food-grade dyes. The red rosebud comes already assembled with green leaves, so the visual effect of a finished floral decoration is achieved with a single piece. Being practically weightless, the roses sit on whipped cream, custard or ganache without sinking or deforming the surface.
The Floreal Brand: Pastry Decorations Since 1961
Floreal was founded in Milan in 1961 and is based in Assago (Milan). For over sixty years the company has specialised in artistic decorations for the confectionery sector: sugar and royal icing flowers, pastillage pieces, wafer flowers, chocolate decorations and sugar paste plaques, serving pastry shops, gelato parlours, specialised retailers and large-scale distribution. This red mini rose with leaves is part of its classic wafer flower range and is distributed from the Assago headquarters.
How to Use Them in the Professional Pastry Lab
Take the roses from the box with clean dry hands or food tweezers and place them directly on the dessert: cream tarts, mignon pastries, cupcakes, celebration cakes, semifreddos and gelato cakes. They pair naturally with sugar paste coverings and mirror glazes once the glaze has set. For wedding and ceremony cakes, group three or five roses with extra wafer leaves for a classic composition.
Apply the decorations as close to service as possible on very moist surfaces: wafer is sensitive to prolonged direct contact with liquids. On whipped cream and ganache the roses hold their shape and colour for the normal display life of the product in the refrigerated showcase.
Practical Tips and Common Mistakes
Do not store the open box in a humid room: moisture softens the wafer and dulls the shape. Do not place the roses on hot surfaces or under direct heat lamps. Keep the protective film closed between uses so the remaining pieces stay crisp and the colours stay bright.
Storage and Shelf Life
Store in a cool, dry place away from light and humidity, in line with standard practice for ambient dry goods. The carton box with window and inner film protects the 200 pieces and allows partial use without exposing the whole content.
Delivery and Logistics
B2B and B2C delivery across Switzerland from the LAPA warehouse in Embrach (Zurich). Direct distribution with the LAPA fleet in the regions of Zurich, Winterthur, Kloten, Aargau, St. Gallen, Lucerne, Bern and Basel. For Ticino (Lugano, Mendrisio), French-speaking Switzerland (Geneva, Lausanne, Fribourg) and Graubuenden (Chur, Davos) shipping within 24-48 hours with partner couriers such as Swiss Post, Planzer and Galliker. As an ambient dry product, no cold chain is required.
Who This Product Is For
Pastry labs, bakeries, gelato shops, hotels with in-house pastry production, catering services, Italian delis and ambitious home bakers who want a professional floral finish without the time cost of hand-modelled sugar flowers. The 200-piece box keeps the cost per decorated dessert low and predictable.
