Spring Flower Pots!

Two weekends ago, (I'm a little late on posting this one!) Elise, Kiersten and I spent a little time together making Spring Flower Pots.. and these are not the typical flower pots you are thinking of.  They are even BETTER... you can eat them!!  Well, not the flower.  It took repeating over and over and over to Elise and Kiersten that they could NOT eat the actualy flower!  Haha. Our flower pots were from the one and only, Pioneer Woman's blog, and they were made with pound cake, ice cream, crushed oreos and gummy worms!  And a flower to top it off.

Spring Flower Pot Desserts

1 whole Pound Cake (We used Sara Lee)

Your choice of Ice Cream

1 package Oreo Cookies

1 package Gummy Worms

Small Clay Flower Pots

Straws

Fresh Cut Flowers

Slice the pound cake into 1 to 1 1/2 inch slices.  With a cookie or biscuit cutter that fits the bottom of your pot cut the slices into rounds.  Once you have put the pound cake securely into the bottom of the pot, hold a straw up against the side of a flowerpot and snip it so its able 1/2 inch shorter than the top.  Stick each straw into the center of each pot, to the bottom of the pound cake.

Next, grab your favorite flavor of ice cream and make sure it is soft enough to use and just spoon it into the edges around the straw until it almost reaches the tip of the straw.  Make sure you put your worms throughout the ice cream!  Return the pots to the freezer until they are firm. 

Lastly, you will use a food processor to crush up the oreos (or just crush them in a ziploc bag) and take the pots out of the freezer and spoon the dirt over the top.  Place your fresh flower into the straw and then cover the straw with a bit more dirt! 

These are the most fun desserts to make!!!  Although, Kiersten was just interested in eating the worms and concerned with the fact she wasnt able to eat her yellow flower.  Luckily, i sent these home with their parents because apparently they scooped out all of their oreos and ice cream everywhere until they found all of the hidden worms in their pot!!  Whoops!
