ellerMini rose cakes!
These are basically just modified quark balls. The ingredients are wheat flour, sugar, salt, quark (raspberry quark, because there was no other in the fridge - but the color fits, so, whatever), milk, oil, egg, yeast, and a few candied rose petals - not weighed, so once again stochastic baking. The frosting consists of powdered sugar, rum (the alcohol is important, both for preservation and so that the lovely rose aroma dissolves and spreads well) and much more candied rose petals. Not whole petals because this was just-for-fun baking during my lunch break. We don't have guests or anything, so I stuck to the "cheap" stuff (candied rose fragments; whatever), though of course cheap is very relative when referring to candied rose petals. (I love the stuff, so, worth it.) I'm very happy with how these turned out!
