Where can I get those flowers? My grandmother loved pansies, and it would have been her birthday this coming Thursday. I would love to bake these in her honor :)

Jen- I followed this recipe to make the sugared flowers: http://www.marthastewart.com/recip/sugared-flowers?autonomy_kw=sugared%20flowers&rsc=header_3
You can buy the edible flowers in some grocery stores (I know Whole Foods always has them) or you can ask a florist if they have any. Hope this helps!
