New Idea for Silicone Floral Pan

[lisasfuncooking]

It was my daughter's b-day and she wanted a garden cake. Trying to rack my brain thinking of what to do for flowers. I made a box cake and crushed the outside of an oreo cookie for mulch and sprinkled it over the frosting.
Then I used different colored starbursts (used 5 starbursts of the same color)and put them in the greased silicone floral pan and melted them in the oven.
The 5 starbursts was a perfect thickness. Just enough to cover the bottom and get a good imprint.
I only used the 4 flowers/roses. After they melted and cooled off, I just popped them out and stuck a toothpick in them. Added some gummy worms.
I had a white picket fence picture frame that I stood up in the back and put some pictures of her in.
It came out really cute. I love my floral pan!:balloon:
The only thing I would have done differently was use longer wood b-bq sticks and cut them for diffent heights. Just an idea that you could use/share.

I will try to get pictures posted. My good laptop is down. I baked them at 350F and kept checking them to see when they were completely melted. I could have used chocolate too, but the starburst really gave it a brilliant color.
Love the idea of a mini floral pan probably would have looked better if they were a little smaller.

Hi there! Wow, what a creative and adorable idea for a garden cake! I love how you used the silicone floral pan to create the flowers with melted starbursts - such a fun and unique technique. And the addition of the oreo cookie "mulch" and gummy worms really adds to the garden theme. I'm sure your daughter was thrilled with her birthday cake. Thanks for sharing your experience with the silicone floral pan - it's always great to hear how our products are being used in creative ways. And your suggestion for using longer wooden BBQ sticks for different heights is a great idea! I will definitely keep that in mind for future use. Thanks again for sharing and happy cooking!
