Mother’s Day Bouquets (May 13 – May 19)

I don’t know of a mom who doesn’t love flowers. Create a beautiful Mother’s Day brunch with a floral theme. Individual ice sculpture bowls or a large ice sculpture salad bowl is delightful. Ice bowls are made with 2 sizes of stainless steel bowls and edible fresh flowers. Take the larger of the two bowls and line the sides with edible fresh flowers. Insert the smaller bowl on top of the larger bowl and slowly fill the space between the bowls with water. The smaller bowl will lift up. Tape it down with masking tape and set the bowl into the freezer until completely frozen. When serving make remove the bowls and make sure that the serving platter has a lip to accommodate melting.
For the largest salad bowl concept, the serving piece needs a lip and can have crushed ice surrounding the base to hold it in place. Ice bowls can hold salads, sorbets or ice cream.
Another bouquet concept is to create a Boston Bibb lettuce bouquet for each person. Also, smoked salmon slices can be coated with cream cheese on one side a gently rolled up to resemble rose buds. I like to create hash brown potatoes and form each into nest shapes. Then, fill each nest with a favorite egg preparation. Surround the nests with an artful design of the salmon rose buds and fresh basil leaves for a stunning tribute to Mom.
