The traditional plain white steamed bun takes on a new life as we painted beautiful flowers with edible food colouring!
These gorgeous steamed buns are exquisite decorative pieces and are guaranteed to be the talk of the dinner table! Surprisingly, the texture of the steamed bun is easy to paint on and the painting dries fast too.
It doesn't take up much time and would be a fun hobby to try out with the kids at home! Be extra adventurous and introduce different fillings for the bun to make it an even yummier treat - for the eyes and the tastebuds!
