~ Flower Power ~
Making cute food is my passion - its so fun
making all the cute colorful edibles . The biggest
reward for all this funlicious food is surely the million
dollar smile that I see on my lil ones face ...Healthy food
week is going on at her school so kiddos are expected to
get food from the set menu .Today was Idli day n she
wanted something different - "Mom u already made the
cartoon idlis last time -pl i want something new like flower
idlis" ( ah poor me!!) .So I spent an hour last night thinking over
the execution .....& guess what- I ended using the newly made
plastic stencils ( which of course i had made to stencil paint
a table cloth) on these foody creations .......Should I call
it flower power or pretty food power that my hubby dear
who is not that fond of idlis was tempted to eat these
for breakfast too !!!

To create flower idlis-
cut a stencil of the desired pattern on a hard plastic
sheet or tetra pack carton. Keep the stencil on the
idli n put desired food color with your finger or
a cleaned unused brush. ( natural colors - like beet ,
spinach juice or dissolved turmeric works fine too )

Idlis , beet juice extract as color for the
stenciled flowers
This edible stencil printing works well with breads , tortillas ,
rotis n crepes too .
