• To make peach-colored honeysuckle blooms, knead 1 yellow and 2 white gumdrops together with about one-third of an orange gumdrop; dredge lightly in sugar, and divide into small gumdrop-size portions for shaping.
• Try using the same cutter and rolling technique with red gumdrops. Paired with fresh mint, the bright trumpet-shaped blooms make a spectacular garnish for a hummingbird cake.
• After cutting the desired shapes from flattened gumdrops, the leftover scraps are just right for rolling tiny buds and berries or other whimsical flowers.
