After a long cold winter of hibernating it feels amazing to start gathering with friends and family again. The Victoria Day long weekend is our chance to head to the cottage, invite some friends over and enjoy each other’s company.

Food and drink are at the center of our family get-togethers. Our mom’s an amazing cook and baker and seems to be able to feed a village with an empty fridge!

But I have to say that one of my favourite parts of our long weekend festivities has to be all the desserts! Not only does our mom bake her famous strudel, honey cake and cupavce, but our aunts also bring yummy sweet treats. And there’s nothing like a hot cup of tea to top off the merriment.

It’s the littlest things that can make guests feel pampered. Replace the sugar“cube” with these super-simple handcrafted DIY sugar roses, a sweet touch for the hot tea bar.

What you’ll need to make the sugar roses:

  • rose-shaped silicone candy mold
  • ½ cup of organic sugar
  • 1 tsp of water

How to make sugar roses:

Dampen the sugar very slightly with the water. Press the dampened sugar firmly into the silicone mold compartments. Allow to dry fully (overnight). Carefully pop the roses out of the mold compartments. And enjoy!

I love the dandelion and peach green tea, which I buy from a coffee/tea shop. Will be checking out Walmart.

Wow what a great idea. Dessert and tea at the cottage sounds like the perfect long weekend to me. I love your sugar roses and they look easy to do too. Great idea!

Thank you so much Dannyelle! We are really looking forward to the weekend away. We were surprised at how easy the sugar roses were to make! I actually ruined the first batch, thinking that they would dry faster on low temp in the toaster oven. Well, they melted a bit. Oops!
