Pancake Rose Bouquet

You'll need:
*5 eggs
*200 grams sugar
*200 grams flour
*food coloring
*orange juice
*vase or any container
*skewers
* florists foam for flowers

INSTRUCTIONS:
Preheat the oven to 350°F and coat a baking sheet with cooking spray. Mix eggs, sugar,flour and food coloring ( optional) together and pour different size circles/pancakes with a ladle. They won't be perfectly round but that's OK. Remember that the bigger pancakes you make the bigger flowers you'll get. To make them look more realistic it's important to have different sizes.  This arrangement is the amount I got from the recipe.
Bake about 10-15 min or until golden brown. If you use food coloring then judge 'wellness' by the sides/rim.
When done it's important to keep your baking sheet inside the oven. You want your pancakes to stay hot as long as possible. You'll need to work fast so they don't burn ether having to sit  in a hot oven.  To make a flower all you do is roll petals together starting with the smallest working your way to the biggest. You may want to wear some gloves to protect your hands from heat, because that's what makes petals stick/glue together.

To keep my roses moist and to add some additional character to the taste I sprayed them with some orange juice and rubbed with a little bit of sweetened condensed milk.

Then decorate a vase. Put some foam inside. I skewered my flowers adding  blueberries to hide the tips and added some orange slices just to make my bouquet more rich looking.
