Step 1

Add the sugar, water, light corn syrup, and lemon juice into a saucepan.

Step 2

Add the pot to the stovetop. Stir with a spatula and bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat. Stop stirring and reduce heat to medium low once all the sugar has melted.

Step 3

Insert a candy thermometer into the mixture and let it boil until it reaches 300°F (150°C). This will take about 45 minutes.

Step 4

As the syrup is boiling, line a baking sheet with parchment paper, and get your edible flowers (see note 1) ready beside the baking sheet.

Step 5

Once the mixture reaches 300°F (150°C), remove it from the heat. Pour half of the syrup onto the prepared baking sheet, gently tilt the baking sheet to spread the syrup into an even layer.

Step 6

Quickly place the prepared flowers onto the syrup layer. You can scatter them randomly over the syrup layer, or place them in a specific design or pattern. Just make sure to work quickly before the syrup hardens.

Step 7

Pour the second half of the syrup onto the first half, making sure that all the flowers are fully coated with the sugar syrup.

Step 8

Let the syrup cool and harden for at least 1 hour in a cool environment or until it has hardened. If the temperature of the surroundings is high, you may choose to place the baking sheet in the refrigerator.

Step 9

Once the edible sugar glass is hard, peel off the parchment paper and enjoy. You can use this piece of edible sugar glass as a dessert serving plate, or use a knife or hammer to break it into pieces, and use the edible glass pieces to decorate cakes.
