Default yakqwa decoration?

I ran across this Korean Cookie recipe
http://www.honeyandbutter.com/asian/...cookies-yakgwa
a ginger-cinnamon cookie that gets deep fried-- then soaked in a
cinnamon flavored malt syrup -- and then gets some pine nut
decorations.

Then found this page with a much better looking 'flower' -- It makes
the pine nuts make sense to me.

Can anyone recognize the centers of these? I am thinking I could go
with little spirals of candied orange peel-- but I don't think that's
what is shown, but I think it might work appearance, texture, and
flavor-wise.

Any thoughts on what else might make a good flower center?

Thanks
Jim
