2.Quickly mix the ingredients without making them stiff and wrap everything in foil or put into a food box; leave in the fridge for two hours.
3.Using a rolling pin, spread the mixture until you get a 0.2" thickness and shape the biscuits using flower cookie cutters (or by hand). The buscuits shouldn't be bigger than two inches. After forming the buscuits, place them onto a buttered and floured oven plate. Cook for 15 minutes at a temperature of 350�F (180�C; 4 gas mark).
4.Let the biscuits cool down and carefully display them on a bakery grate (it may help to use a spatula).
-icing-
1. Scald the pistachios in boiling water, peel off their skin and cut them vertically in half.
2. In a bowl add the lemon juice and 1egg white, mix them up and then slowly add the remaining confectioner's sugar. Keep mixing the ingredients until you obtain a smooth cream.
3. Divide the obtained frosting in 2 different parts and add the red and green food colouring which you'll use on the biscuits.
To form the petals on the flowers use the sliced almonds on the red biscuits and the pistachios on the green ones. Add the candied fruits in the middle to form the corolla.
