\"Gumdrop<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The title really says it all with these guys. It’s flowers made of cookies and gumdrops. That’s it. There’s no secret. But aren’t they cute, folks? <\/p>\n

This has been a long-time Mother’s Day standby for my family. It’s so easy, even the smallest kids can do it with a little adult supervision, and the product is adorable, fun, and delicious. These are the best kind of projects!<\/p>\n

\"Gumdrop<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

To make this, you just need a few simple items. I used butter cookies, which are already shaped like flowers. This makes the project even simpler, but for you DIY-from-the-ground-up folks, this will work with sugar cookies shaped like flowers (this is a great sugar cookie recipe<\/a> that will not spread during baking). If you’re up for super fancy, you can even decorate your sugar cookies before pressing them onto the skewers. Just remember to leave a little hole when you cut them before baking. If you don’t, you’ll risk breaking your hard work when you go to put them on the skewers. <\/p>\n

Other than that, you’ll need gumdrops (or spice drops. Is there a difference?) and skewers. You’ll press the first gumdrop onto the skewer like so:<\/p>\n

\"Gumdrop<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Then press a cookie and another gumdrop on top to hide the pointy end. If this isn’t the easiest project ever, then I don’t know what is.<\/p>\n

\"Gumdrop<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

They’re colorful, they’re simple, they’re you’re own bouquet of edible Mother’s Day fun!<\/p>\n

\"Gumdrop<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Now I just need to find something as cute and fun for Father’s Day<\/a>. Got any ideas?<\/p>\n

Have any great Father’s or Mother’s Day ideas? Leave a comment and let us know!<\/strong><\/p>\n
