Aren’t these pineapple flowers gorgeous? Decorating your cakes and cupcakes with these flowers will give them a beautiful, natural finish. When you made these oven-dried pineapple flowers, the thinner you cut the slices, the faster they will dry — and the brighter their yellow will be.

Step 3:
Preheat oven to 225 degrees. Line two baking sheets with nonstick baking mats or parchment paper.

Place the pineapple slices on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or silicone mat. Bake until the flowers are dried. Exact baking time depends on how thin the slices are; the thicker the slices, the longer it takes.

You can check on them every 20 minutes and flip them over to the other side until they are completely dried.
