I haven't seen any refereence to flavors for a hardened sugar syrup. I
would wonder if those oils had come into existence. Sugar _was_
flavored with rose and violet, the two most popular flavors, this was
not in a melted sugar state. I would seriously doubt that the English
flavored the "stained glass". Keep in mind that re-creating a stained
glass object may well be an anachronism. Reference is to re-creating
objects such as fruits, statues, flowers, plates, etc. While a castle
is referred to, and I think that the jewels in the coronation subtlety
might be melted sugar, I have seen no reference to recreating a stained
glass window.
