Confetti
Sugared Almond Flowers
In recent years, the old custom of giving favours to your wedding guests, which originated in Italy, has been adopted in the UK.
Historically five sugared almonds or 'dragees', were given. These five sweets represent Health, Wealth, Happiness, Long Life and Fertility.
We purchase the finest sugared almonds, from Sulmona, Italy.

The almonds after being peeled, the whole almonds are put into large rotating copper pots. Liquefied sugar is poured in gradually, in order to lightly coat the almonds. At the end of the day, the almonds must rest until the next morning, when operations resume. The whole process takes four days with up to 200 coatings to achieve the perfect sugared coating.
