EDIBLE GUMDROP COOKIE BOUQUET




Source of Recipe


FootsieBear's Den


List of Ingredients




Wooden skewers (the type used for kebobs)
Plain one-layer cookies with a hole in the middle
Gumdrops (any size or shape)
1 vase or container
1 piece of Styrofoam



Recipe



Skewers can be broken to different lengths if you want varying heights. If children are making the flowers, cut or break off the sharp ends of the skewers to avoid injuries.

Cookies with scalloped edges look especially nice.

You will need twice as many gumdrops as cookies or skewers.

Plan the colors of the gumdrops around other decorations or color schemes, or holidays. Use red and green at Christmastime or pastel colors at Easter.

Use a glue gun to secure the Styrofoam to the bottom of the vase or container to hold the "flowers."

To make the flowers, stick a gumdrop onto one end if a skewer. Push the gumdrop down the skewer about an inch.

Next take a cookie and put the skewer through the center.

Take another gumdrop and stick it on the end of the skewer. Make sure that the skewer doesn’t go all of the way through the second gumdrop. The top gumdrop is the center of the cookie. You don’t want to be able to see the skewer. You may need to adjust the first gumdrop that you put on the skewer up or down a little bit so that the cookie fits snuggly between the two gumdrops.

Stick the opposite end of the skewer into the Styrofoam base. Arrange the cookies however you prefer.

Arrangements with all of the skewers the same length looks nice. They also look nice with various lengths, the taller ones in the middle with shorter ones arranged around it.
