Directions
1.
Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease 15-1/2 x 10-1/2-inch jelly-roll pan. Line with waxed paper; grease paper.

Beat yolks, 1/3 cup granulated sugar and vanilla in bowl until thick and lemon-colored, about 1 minute.

At low speed, beat cake flour mixture into yolk mixture.

Cut lengthwise into eight 1-1/4-inch strips. Cut each strip crosswise into twelve 1-1/4-inch squares. Spread cut surfaces with remaining preserves. Place on rack over waxed paper.
9.
Mix confectioners' sugar and 3/4 cup water in bowl. Add 2 tablespoons water as needed for coating consistency. Using forks, dip half the cake pieces in glaze. Decorate with candied flowers as desired.
