My slightly squashed but delicious Violet soufflé

When I was researching soufflés in January I made a list I wanted to try in the future, including a Violet Soufflé for spring. I saw this in Larousse Gastronomique (along with other sweet and savoury soufflés of note such as cherry, lemon, lettuce, potato, apricot and coffee). According to Larousse Gastronomique a violet soufflé is a cream--base soufflé mixture flavoured with a few drops of essence of violets and with candied violets added. I had brought home some candied violets from France and picked some fresh violets for for a mini bouquet (inspired by the below cake) to place on top of the soufflé.
