Meringue Wreath with Candied Violets

For the meringue wreath with candied violets, first prepare the meringue mixture.

To do this, beat one third of the icing sugar with the egg whites, salt and vanilla sugar in a bain-marie until warm. Remove the egg whites from the water bath and gradually add the remaining powdered sugar and beat well with a hand mixer.

Finally, fold in the sifted confectioners’ sugar. On a sheet of parchment paper, draw five circles, each 20 centimeters in diameter. Put the meringue in a piping bag with a No. 8 nozzle and pipe the rings onto the parchment paper. Bake the meringue in the oven at 100 °C for 40 minutes.

For the bottom and top of the wreath, repeatedly draw two circles and coat them with meringue to a thickness of one centimeter. Also bake in the oven at about 100 degrees for about 40 min. After baking, take the bottom and connect the five rings with a part of the remaining meringue mass when putting them on top of each other. Smooth the outside of the whole wreath with the meringue mixture and place it repeatedly in the oven for 15 min. This will make the spread meringue mixture firm. Then cool the meringue wreath.

For the filling, whip ice-cold whipped cream with sugar, vanilla sugar and cream stiffener. Once the whipped cream is firm, fold in the cognac and berry fruit.

For the candied blossoms, bring the water and sugar to a boil and bubble the broth for five to six minutes. Cover the rim of the pot again with a clean cloth and dip it in cold water.
