Tips
When experimenting with ingredient substitutions, it's important to consider the flavors and textures you want to achieve in the final dish. For example, if you don't have lavender on hand, you could try using rosemary or thyme to add an herbal undertone. Similarly, if you don't have edible gold glitter, you could use powdered sugar or decorative sprinkles for a touch of visual appeal. Remember to taste as you go and adjust the amounts of ingredients accordingly to create a well-balanced and delicious dish.
