Small Lily Pastillage Flowers 108 pcs — Floreal

Giglio Piccolo Floreal: edible lily flowers for professional pastry

The Giglio Piccolo by Floreal is a set of 108 edible decorative lily flowers in pastillage, hand-cast and ready to use. Made from potato starch and sugar, it brings floral elegance to cakes, semifreddi and signature desserts without any baking. Gluten free, it is supplied in a carton of 108 pieces. Important: the fabric pistils at the centre of each flower are not edible and must be removed before consumption.

What pastillage decoration is

Pastillage is a classic confectionery paste of sugar and starch that dries into a firm, light and stable structure, ideal for sculpted flowers and figures. Unlike fresh edible flowers, pastillage decorations keep their shape and colour for a long time and do not wilt, which makes them a reliable tool for the professional pastry chef who prepares display cakes in advance.

The producer: Floreal, Milan since 1961

Floreal SRL was founded in Milan in 1961 and is today based in Assago, in the metropolitan area of Milan. For over sixty years it has been one of the Italian benchmarks for confectionery decoration in sugar, pastillage, wafer and chocolate: royal-icing flowers and meringues, pastillage flowers, wafer flowers, chocolate plaques and sugar-paste labels. The Giglio Piccolo belongs to its historic line of cast sugar flowers.

Characteristics

Each lily is delicately moulded with open white petals and a coloured centre. The decoration is dry and light, with a long shelf life at room temperature. Because it is applied cold and dry, it preserves crisp detail and bright colour on the finished cake.

Professional uses

1) Wedding, baptism and communion cakes: apply the lilies onto the fondant or iced surface for a romantic floral composition. 2) Semifreddi and mousse cakes: place the flowers on the mirror glaze just before service so they stay crisp. 3) Petits fours and mignon pastries: a single lily crowns each piece for an elegant buffet. 4) Tiramisu and spoon desserts in glass: a flower on top lifts the presentation. 5) Cake design and competition pieces: combine with wafer leaves and sugar paste for full floral scenes.

Pairings and complementary products

Pair the Giglio Piccolo with Floreal wafer leaves to build complete bouquets, with white or coloured sugar paste (pasta di zucchero) as a base, with wafer sheets (ostia) for cake tops, and with velvet spray or edible colours to finish the surface.

Common mistakes to avoid

Do not store the flowers in a humid fridge: pastillage absorbs moisture and softens, losing its shape. Do not apply them on a still-warm or wet glaze. Above all, never serve the decoration without removing the non-edible fabric pistils first.
