Was wondering how to sugar rose petals for a wedding cake without using egg whites to hold sugar onto petals? Any suggestions?

I found this, don't how well it would work though

Recipes:Sugared Rose Petals

Ingredients:
1 cup miniature rose petals, various colors
1 cup sugar
3/4 cup water
Cracked ice
Confectioners sugar

Preparation:
Wash organically grown miniature rose petals in clear water and dry on wire racks or paper towels. Trim away tough, bitter ends.

Combine sugar and water in saucepan and boil until mixture reaches 234 degrees F on a candy thermometer. Pour the simple syrup into a bowl that you've set on a bed of cracked ice.

As syrup begins to harden, hold petals with tongs or chopsticks and coat evenly with syrup. Dry sugared petals on waxed paper.

Dust with sifted confectioners or castor (fine grained) sugar. The sugar can be colored with food coloring to match the hue of the petals.

Serve sugared rose petals over ice cream, creme brulee, as decorations on cakes, or as garnish for dessert plates.
