confetti flowers |
|
|
The tradition of offering confetti
at a marriage or birth began with the
Romans whose confetti was comprised
of honey-coated seeds.
With the arrival of sugar from the
Orient, the Medieval Italian apothecaries
developed the "sugarcoated pill."
The ability to heal was soon associated
with the sugar coating.
Soon afterward, Confetti fiori, or
floral candy was developed by the nuns
of the Santa Chirara convent in Sulmona
in the 16th century.
Originally, five sugared almonds were
fashioned into flowers. The candy petals
symbolized health, happiness, fertility,
prosperity and long life.
|
 |
Today,
the tradition to give sugared sweets has
grown to include their fabrication in
lovely tulle and silk flowers created
in Italy, and known as Confetti Flowers,
as shown above. (Confetti is from the
word confection.) |
|
Confetti
flowers are made with almond-shaped
candy chocolates in a sugar shell. By
using the uniformly sized slim candies,
Italian floral artists can create more
delicate and fanciful flowers. People
looking at confetti flowers never guess
they are not almonds, but those that
might dare to remove them will realize
they are filled with sweet chocolate
inside.
