Let Love Bloom This Mother's Day
You can always count on mom to love any present you give her. Whether it is a misshapen ashtray from the second grade or a bizarre cubist art project made in high school, she always appreciates handmade gifts. This Mother's Day surprise mom with a gift that needs no explanation when you bake her a Wilton Flower Cookies!
"Every woman loves flowers, as well as homemade gifts from her children," said Nancy Siler, consumer affairs director for Wilton Enterprises, the nation's leading supplier of cake and entertaining supplies. "Baking delicious flower-shaped cookies and creating a gorgeous bouquet is a fantastic way to show mom how much your love her."
Tulips? Daisies? How about Both!
Stop rummaging through the Yellow Pages for a florist and save yourself a major headache from trying out perfume at the mall. Wilton's Mother's Day Flower Cookie Blossom is a simple, perfect gift!
You don't have to be a master chef to make this beautiful flower creation. Start out with your favorite sugar and chocolate chip cookie recipes or opt for refrigerated cookie dough. Either way, the magic will begin when you use Wilton's Butterfly, Tulip, Daisy and Flower Comfort Grip Cutters‘ to create the blossoms. Make a few of each shape and let them bake!
Mother's Day Flower Cookie Blossoms – Add One
After the cookies have cooled, it's time to decorate! Get out your Wilton Disposable Decorating Bags and Tips, and mix up a batch of royal icing. Wilton Icing Colors will make the flowers come to life. Violet butterflies and pink, yellow and peach flowers will make mom the happiest woman in the world! Don't forget to attach Wilton Cookie Treat 8-inch sticks and 11 3/4 Lollipop Sticks to the backs of the cookies with some leftover royal icing. When the icing has dried, it's time to arrange the delectable flowers!
Other Flower Cookie Gift Ideas
- The day before Mother's Day give your mother a few chocolate chips and a clay pot filled with crushed chocolate wafers. Together, "plant" the chips in the pot and tell mom to wait to see what grows overnight. Exchange the clay pot on Mother's Day morning with Wilton's homemade Flower Cookie Bouquet!
- Take the cookies on sticks and make a flower arrangement. Wrap the bouquet in paper or place it in a flower box with a big bow and a sweet note, so it looks like it came from the florist. On Mother's Day, ring your mom's doorbell and leave the bouquet on her doorstep. What a special delivery!
