Gingerbread Candy Canes and Flowers
by Reba Berge, Tastemaker in Residence
Ingredients
White Pine
Flat Cedar
3 Red Roses
3 Red Carnations
Red Mini Carnations
White Cushion Poms
3 Candy Canes
1 Bow
¼ block Oasis
Gingerbread Mug
Instructions
White Pine, Flat Cedar, White Poms, Roses and Carnations create a palate of red/white/green that’s easily placed into the Oasis. Use any ribbon you like with a similar color palette for the bow, then add as many candy canes as you like. You’re done!
Using a gingerbread mug gives this arrangement a second life (for cocoa) as well as a great way to spruce up the younger crowds table. If you happen to find mini-mugs, that could be a takeaway gift for each kid/teenager!
Flower Design Note - Be sure to soak the Oasis in water long enough to saturate it and don’t forget to water it, especially the first few days. You could also substitute a small Poinsettia plant if you run out of time.
