Cool Carnations - Floral Sundae - Recipe and Photos by Jill Slater
Floral Sundaes

Materials:

  • 1 sundae glass (If using a clear glass, a 1/2 cup of clear marbles is needed)
  • 20 stems white button mums
  • 1/2 brick of floral foam
  • 5 to 6 white or pink standard carnations
  • 1 real cherry, faux cherry, red grape or small red rose bud
  • Approximately 10 large paper clips
  • 2 plastic drinking straws
  • Knife
  • Floral clippers
  • Floral preservative
Directions:
Step 1 - Soak the floral foam in water that has been treated with floral preservative for at least 30 minutes.

Step 2 - If using clear glass sundae cup, fill three-quarters full with clear marbles.

Step 3 - Cut the foam so that it sits on top and slightly inside of the sundae glass.

Step 4 - Insert 2 plastic straws into the floral foam so that only half of the straw is exposed.

Step 5 - Cut the carnations to approximately 3-inches in length and insert them deeply into the floral foam. Try to keep a round ice-cream scoop shape.

Step 6 - Add one of any of the following items as a delicious sundae embellishment: real cherry, faux cherry, red grape or small red rose bud.

Happy Flower Arranging,
