Perk Up Cakes and Cupcakes With Herb Crystals

Monday was my sister's birthday and she ordered a chocolate cake from Piece of Cake. There's only a bit left, and I had a slice for dessert last night. Initially, I was going to sprinkle a little sea salt on the slice, but when I saw the hibiscus crystals in the pantry, I decided to go for it. It was delicious! Fresh Origins makes herbal and floral crystals in different flavors including fennel, mint, cilantro, rose and hibiscus.

The hibiscus crystals are a great combination of sweetness and citrus taste. These crystals are an unusual flavor accent but can used in so many dishes. Add a tangy spark to desserts; innovative topping for lemon sorbet and chocolate ganache.
