Frequently Asked Questions

Our marshmallow flowers are made with simple, quality ingredients:

• Fruit and berry purée
• Egg white
• Sugar
• Agar-agar
• Food colouring

Our recipe is naturally gluten-free, lactose-free, and fat-free, with about 300 calories per 100 g — making it a lighter alternative to many classic desserts.

Agar-agar is a natural plant-based thickener derived from red and brown seaweeds. This product has been used for centuries in Asian cuisine and traditional medicine.

Agar-agar is rich in essential minerals: magnesium, calcium, potassium, and phosphorus, which support bone and muscle health. The iron content helps prevent anemia.

Regular consumption of agar-agar helps reduce cholesterol levels and improves cardiovascular health. It also has beneficial effects on nails and hair, making them stronger and healthier.

Additionally, agar-agar is high in fiber, which improves digestion and helps eliminate toxins from the body.

That's why we chose agar-agar as the thickener for our FlowBer marshmallow flowers — it not only provides the perfect shape and delicate texture, but also makes our dessert truly beneficial for your health.

In our recipe, based on the classic fruit-based marshmallow (zefir) formula, the amount of sugar has already been optimized and reduced to the minimum possible level. However, we cannot completely eliminate it.

Sugar is not only a sweetener and preservative that affects the freshness of the product, but also influences the viscosity of the marshmallow mass and plays a structure-forming role.

We fundamentally avoid the use of synthetic sweeteners, staying true to natural ingredients and the traditional recipe.

In our recipe, we use only one ingredient of animal origin — pasteurized egg white. It is one of the key structure-forming components that gives the marshmallow its signature fluffiness and airy texture.

But it's not just about texture. Egg white is a true treasure trove of health benefits:

• Pure protein — building material for cells, muscles, skin, and hair
• Complete set of essential amino acids that the body cannot produce on its own
• Immune support — contains lysozyme, a natural antibacterial enzyme
• Energy and metabolism — B vitamins activate metabolic processes
• No fats or cholesterol — easily digestible protein without extra calories
• Bone strengthening — phosphorus and magnesium support the skeletal system

We don't aim to create a fully vegan product. Our philosophy is to create not just a sweet treat, but a truly beneficial delicacy for your health and well-being.

In our production, we use only certified food colorants from trusted and well-known brands. The amount of colorant is minimal and used exclusively for coloring the marshmallow mass.

Additionally, we employ a unique dry coloring technique using a spray method — the colorant is applied in the thinnest layer only to the surface of the flower.

This unique technique allows us to:

• Minimize the use of colorant
• Create realistic floral compositions
• Achieve unique shades and smooth gradients

That's why even the black roses you can see in our photos are actually pink inside — the colorant is only on the surface of the petals, just like real flowers.

We love creating custom arrangements! Whether you need specific colours to match your event theme, a particular flower type, or a unique arrangement — let us know your vision and we'll work with you to make it happen.

You're right — we don't display a phone number, and that's intentional.

Written communication allows us to:

• Revisit the conversation at any time
• Avoid misunderstandings that can happen over the phone
• Give each client our full attention

We are constantly evolving and mastering new forms and types of flowers. Each type requires specific skills and techniques for its creation.

Our flowers are as close as possible to real ones in shape and color. Learning this art takes a lot of time and patience so that you can admire the result.

It's important to understand that we create not only art, but also a food product. Not every type of flower is suitable for marshmallow floristry — the flower must have a certain size, volume, and petal structure that can be reproduced in marshmallow mass.

Follow our updates — we regularly add new types of flowers to our collection!
