The trick in the baking of the receipt (recipe) Millefruit Biscuits was to let your oven not be too hot, only just to dry the iceing. With the iceing prepared from whites of egg, sugar and orange flower water, my concern was that the biscuits would brown which I did not want. The tin of biscuits was placed in a very slack oven.

The cochineal colour brushed on the receipt (recipe) for Millefruit Biscuits, came from my tin of cochineal scales (Dactylopius coccus). The scales, which live on the prickly cactus, produce carminic acid (a red dye) to repel their predator ants.

After you chuse the size and drop the Millefruit Biscuit batter on a baking tin with three papers, the receipt (recipe) directs to take a little brush and touch them here and there with a little cochineal colour, it will make them look well. I decided to add three small lines of the red cochineal with my brush made from part of a goose feather, wood, and squirrel hair.
