Strawberry Smores Bouquet Food

STRAWBERRY S'MORES

Steps:

• Toast the marshmallow: Thread marshmallow onto a metal skewer and hold over medium-high heat, rotating, until golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Sandwich 2 small rectangles of milk chocolate, 2 toasted strawberry marshmallows and a few strawberry slices between 2 ladyfingers.

CAMPFIRE S'MORES STRAWBERRIES

Steps:

• Build a campfire.
• Put the chocolate in a medium heatproof bowl or pot and set near the fire so it melts but doesn't scorch, stirring occasionally if needed. Crush the graham crackers by massaging them in their sleeve, being careful not to puncture it. Once the crumbs are a fine as you can get them, open the sleeve along the lengthwise seam and place on a flat surface near the campfire.
• Skewer a strawberry through the hull so it is firmly on the stick and dip half of the strawberry in the marshmallow crème. Place over the fire and cook until the marshmallow is golden. Dip the uncovered half of the strawberry in the chocolate and roll the chocolate in the graham cracker crumbs. Repeat with the remaining strawberries, marshmallow crème, chocolate and graham cracker crumbs.

LOLLIPOP LOVE HAND PIE BOUQUET

Steps:

• For the pie dough: Place the flour, butter, shortening, sugar and salt into a large mixing bowl. Rub the mixture between your fingers and thumbs repeatedly until the lumps of butter are much smaller and the entire mixture has a breadcrumb-like texture. This should take 2 to 3 minutes.
• Next, slowly pour in the ice water (you may not need all of it), mixing it into the dough with your hands as you pour. Add just enough water to the point where all the flour on the bottom of the bowl has been absorbed, the dough has formed into a rough ball and the bowl appears clean.
• Once you've incorporated the water, place the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead it with your hands 2 to 3 times; gently shape into a flat disc. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and allow to chill in the fridge for 1 hour. The dough can be kept in the fridge for up to 2 days.
• Preheat the oven to 180 degrees C/350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with a silicone mat or parchment paper.
• Once the dough has chilled, place it onto a lightly floured work surface. With a rolling pin, roll the dough out evenly until it is about 1/8 inch thick. Using a 3-inch round cookie cutter, cut out 16 discs of dough. If you do not have enough dough to cut 16, simply re-roll the scraps of dough and cut out the remaining discs. Place the discs onto the prepared baking sheet.
• For the filling: Use a small heart-shaped cookie cutter (roughly 1/4 inch wide, but you can make the hearts as big as you want!) to cut hearts out of the center of 8 of the discs. On each of the remaining 8 discs, place 3/4 teaspoon of jam in the middle and lightly egg wash the edges with a pastry brush. Place a 5-inch lollipop stick into the center of each jam disc. Place a heart disc of dough on top of a jam-covered disc. Gently press the discs together at the edges, sealing them against the egg-washed edge. Using a spare lollipop stick, seal the 2 pieces of dough together by pressing the edge of the lollipop stick into the dough to create a small indentation of the stick all the way around the outside of the disc. Repeat with the remaining discs. Lightly egg wash the top of the discs, then sprinkle a pinch of sugar over the top of each.
• Bake until golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes. Allow to cool for 15 minutes.
• To serve, place a Styrofoam ball into the bottom of a flower pot or vase. Using a skewer, gently pierce a hole in the ball, then take a cooled pie pop and push the lollipop stick into the hole you just created. Repeat, creating holes all over the ball until you have filled it with you pie pops. Using some pink ribbon, tie a small bow around the outside of the flower pot and serve!
