Spring has Sprung!
Sing it from the mountains!!
I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Spring! It’s my favorite time of the year.
The bleak winter has subsided and the daffodils and crocus come back.
Happy Yellow and purple flowers come and cheer up the landscape and today the sun was shinning and it was nearly 80 degrees.
I could not believe it!
Makes me sing “Happy, happy! Joy, joy!”
I was so inspired, I had to make some Daffodil Lollipops.
Here’s what you need:
Yellow Candy Melts
Lollipop sticks
Yellow and Orange Large Gum Drops
Cookie Sheet
Wax Paper cut into squares large enough to cover stencil
Print Stencil from here
Disposable piping bag
Here’s what you do:
Cut out your stencil and wax paper and place on cookie sheet.
Melt candy melts according to directions. Low power setting and short intervals are best.
Pour the candy melts into half the piping bag and snip off 1/8 to 1/4 inch. I prefer the disposable piping bag over a baggie because it’s thicker and will hold up longer through the squeezing. I’ve had too many baggies bust a seam on me and ruin what I was working on.
Outline flower and place the stick about half way. Be careful not to go too far to the center. I found it best to go up through a flower petal instead of placing it like the one in the picture.
Fill in the flower and shake the wax paper to settle the candy to a smooth surface. You will have to work fast before the candy hardens against the cookie sheet.
Add the gumdrop to the center.
You can add sprinkles now if you’d like, or let dry for 30 minutes and outline with candy melts and cover with sprinkles.
Don’t these just cheer you up?
These were taken in my yard with my beautiful Daffodils.
They make me so happy!
Smile and know that Spring is on it’s way!

This is a great idea! Thanks for linking up with Strut Your Stuff Saturday. We're hoping you will join us again next week with more great ideas! – The Sisters
Absolutely love these! I mentioned these in a blog post and am adding a link straight here. I hope you enjoy the extra traffic. Keep up the great recipes! I don't have an oven because I am living and working in Asia right now as a missionary. Ovens are expensive and hard to come by. I hope to be able to get one at the end of this year, but I sure do enjoy stocking up on your yummy recipes so I will have lots to try when I get one!
Thanks for all the inspiration!
