The video begins with Shreya cutting the rice paper disc in the shape of a flower, slicing the sheet partially along its circumference. Next, she cuts the edges in semi-circles to resemble petals. She created such rice paper flowers in two different sizes. Creating a layering effect, she uses the bigger size for the base and places the smaller one on top of it. After placing them on top of each other, Shreya used yellow-hued “cooked turmeric rice” to create the pistil of the 3D flower. For the last and final step, she deep-fried the flower. Sharing the clip, Shreya wrote, “I tried the most popular fried rice paper flowers and they are pure magic. Absolutely perfect for decorating cakes.”

To this, another user wondered, “Can we use egg yolk ?”
Continuing further she also suggested, “No need to shape the flower, you can even make slits and fry it.”
Another user stated that had she not explained what it was, they would have assumed it to be a real flower.
