Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Brush inside of each flowerpot with oil, and line bottom with parchment paper round. Brush parchment with oil, and lightly dust with cocoa.
- Sift cocoa, flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and salt into the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Add egg and yolk, 3/4 cup warm water, buttermilk, oil, and vanilla; mix on low speed until smooth, about 1 minute.
- Divide batter among prepared pots, filling each about two-thirds full. Transfer to a rimmed baking sheet. Bake, rotating sheet about halfway through, until a cake tester inserted into centers comes out clean, 45 to 50 minutes. Let cakes cool completely in the flowerpots on a wire rack.
- Frost cakes with an offset spatula; sprinkle with crushed cookies. Top with candies; "plant" 1 mint sprig in each cake.
LOLLIPOP POTS
Steps:
- Glue floral foam to the bottom of pot. Stick a large swirled lollipop into the floral foam. Shovel an assortment of candy and gumballs into pot. To set each pot "abloom," decorate with fun stickers. Arrange finished pots on herb garden planter and add remaining candy. Repeat process with other pots.
LOLLIPOP FLOWER POTS
These candies/cookies look like little pots, complete with dirt and flowers growing out of them. So cute, especially for any spring time function where there's children.

SIMPLE CAKE POPS
Everyone loves cake pops! They are simple to make, and you can create anything for any occasion. They are also nice small bites of dessert instead of large slices of cake or pie. Can be made up in partial batches and the remaining ingredients stored for a few weeks.

PSYCHEDELIC LOLLIPOPS
Steps:
- On a silpat or parchment lined baking tray, lay out lollipop sticks in rows, leaving 2 inches of space between them for fun free-form lollipops.
- Combine the sugar, corn syrup, and water in a clean, dry, small saucepan (preferably one with a pouring spout) fitted with a candy thermometer and bring to a boil over high heat. Without stirring, cook until the mixture reaches 305 degrees F or "hard crack" stage on the candy thermometer. (While the syrup is cooking, occasionally wash down the sides of the pan with a clean brush dipped in water, to prevent crystallization.) Set up an ice bath in a sink.
- When the mixture is done, remove the pot from the heat and dip it into the ice bath for 15 seconds to stop the cooking. Remove the pot of syrup from the ice bath and stir in 1/2 teaspoon orange extract. Divide the sugar mixture between 2 heat-safe measuring cups. Color 1 measuring cup with yellow food coloring and the other with blue food coloring, stirring very gently with a wooden skewer so that the color is evenly distributed. To avoid air bubbles in the finished lollipops, stir the mixture gently in both directions, but be careful not to over mix.
- Pour or carefully spoon a little of the syrup around each lollipop stick, creating freeform designs covering at least a 1/4-inch of the end of each lollipop stick. Then add blue coloring to the yellow measuring cup to make green and add red food coloring to the blue measuring cup to make purple, and pour more syrup onto the pops.
- Re-warm the syrups in the microwave a few seconds at a time if they are cooling too much and setting up. Cool the lollipops for at least 20 minutes, until hard. Lift off the pan and store in an airtight container for up to 1 week, or 2 to 3 days if the weather is very humid.
- Notes about the recipe: Lollipops are the last thing you expect to see on a petit-four tray in a fancy restaurant ? so that's why I like to serve them last at mine. People burst out laughing when these jewel-like treats arrive on a silver platter after dessert. But then they sit back and savor those suckers right down to the stick! I never get tired of watching Chicago's most elegant diners licking lollipops like kids ? and taking a last few minutes to enjoy the evening.
- Using a very long stick makes these lollipops look and feel more fancy. The flower petals are also very pretty, but optional. If you plan to make these without lollipop molds, just arrange the sticks and petals on the cookie sheet. Let the syrup cool a bit to thicken it slightly, and then pour it over the ends of the sticks.
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!

Steps:
- Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Lightly oil the inside of the terracotta pots with a little vegetable oil and place on a baking tray. Place a paper mini muffin case in the bottom of each pot.
- Put the flour, baking powder and cocoa in a bowl and stir in the sugar.
- Crack the egg into a jug and whisk with the milk and remaining oil. Pour this over the flour and cocoa mixture, and stir in with 50g of the chocolate chips. Be careful not to overmix - you want a loose but still quite lumpy mixture. Spoon into the pots up to three-quarters full. Place in the middle of the oven and bake for 12-15 mins until risen and firm. Transfer to a wire rack (still in the pots) and leave to cool.
- Put the rest of the chocolate chips in a small bowl and melt over a small pan of gently simmering water (don't let the water touch the bowl), or put in a microwave-proof bowl and heat on High for 1 min until melted.
- Spread the tops of the muffins with the melted chocolate. Sprinkle over the chocolate decorations and add 2 rice paper wafer daisies to each pot to serve. Will keep for 2 days in an airtight container.
