To make the lollipops, pour the hot sugar mixture from my Homemade Hard Candy recipe (recipe here) into a silicone mold of your choice. Then stick one lollipop stick into each shape, holding the stick in place until the candy fully sets. This will take around 15-20 minutes.
Then gently unmold the lollipops from the mold. I made 3 different flavours for this bouquet – watermelon, pomegranate and blackberry.
Cut 20 3”x3” squares of tissue paper, and slide them onto each lollipop stick. Twist them at the base of the lollipop to make it look like a little flower, and secure the base of the tissue paper with tape.
Wrap a ribbon around a vase or mason jar and tie a bow. Then fill it up with hard candies. Stick the lollipops into the hard candies, arranging them like flowers.
