Spring Bouquet Popsicles

April 23, 2012
Entertaining,Frozen Treats,Holiday,MM,Popsicles,Recipes

I must tell you a little bit about how this flowers in popsicles thing happened. I was driving my kids to school and I said “mommy wants to make popsicles, what flavors can you pleeeease dream up for me?” Before I knew it delightful + tantalizing ideas were dancing around. All of a sudden my daughter screamed out FLOWER POPSICLES!!

And that is how this all happened. Since this recipe was posted here on MM, it has been featured in all kinds of magazines around the world, an extra special treat!

I often dream up wild ideas for popsicles. You guys have been huge fans of my Lemonade Cucumber Spa Pops. Those make you feel like you are at the spa even when you are not. My Spring Bouquet Pops can whisk you away to a fancy shower, tea party or wedding…even if you are at work in your photo studio 12 hours a day!

These are super fun for warm spring and summer days.

They would be a fun and surprising treat served at a bridal or baby shower. You can customize the colors of the flowers to suit the color theme of your party.

Do you think a bride could walk down the aisle holding a bouquet of popsicle flowers? Perhaps…if she doesn’t mind them dripping on her wedding gown…

You can also write sweet little messages on the popsicle sticks. Like this…

Just be sure whatever flowers you use are indeed edible and organic.

I used these Star Ice Pop molds. In case you want the same ones. What flavor are these pops? I flavored them with orange blossom water and sweetened them with my stevia drops, but you can also use honey, agave or simple syrup.

    I love this! How fun 😀 And your daughter looks super cute holding them. Why have flower bouquets for a wedding when you can have popsicles?

    Can I ask what flowers you put in your Popsicles?!?!?!?

    reply
    1. Marla

      Alisha, they are organic edible flowers that I got at Whole Foods ~ I do not know the exact varieties. They have a very mild floral flavor and pair very well with the orange blossom water.

  92. Cathy Wilkinson Barash

    What a great and gorgeous idea. However, be sure to research flowers for edibility before using – or photographing them. Unfortunately, the flowers highlighted here are Ranunculus (from your daughter holding a bouquet to decorating the popsicle stand). ALL PARTS OF RANUNCULUS, INCLUDING THE FLOWER, ARE POISONOUS. Although calendula petals are edible (used as a saffron substitute), you don’t eat the whole flower.

    I wrote “Edible Flowers from Garden to Palate” back in 1993, but it is still considered the best reference (and cookbookj) on edible flowers by gardeners and chefs alike. If anyone is interested in an updated list of flowers, which includes common and botanical names, and description of flavor, email bloominggourmet@mchsi.com for a copy. There are more than 80 flowers on the list, and it is regularly updated.

    I made these for the 4th of July and my daughter and sister loved them. They have a light fragrant orange blossom taste. I did substitute sugar instead of stevia drops and they were still sweet and lovely. They were all very impressed with the beauty of the popsicles
