Are you looking for something creative to serve for dessert at your wedding reception besides cookies, mini cheesecakes, or chocolate desserts? Why not make a few trays of unique popsicles? Popsicles are great, especially if you are having a summer wedding. You can really get creative with popsicles. You can make the popsicles go with the theme or color of your wedding décor by adding different flavors or food items to them.
For instance, for a princess theme you can make pink and white glitter popsicles. For the pink I would use plain water mixed with pink food coloring. Then take some white sugar and add a few squirts of different food coloring colors to it. Before you freeze it make sure you fill up the choice of mold with warm water. Then add your pink food coloring. Mix this up. Now add your white sugar with squirts of coloring to the mold. For best results I suggest using rainbow colored sanding sugar to get more of a glitter look. For the white princess popsicle you can use vanilla yogurt with the colored sanding sugar–now you will have a princess yogurt popsicle with glitter.
The ideas are really endless here, because so many food items can be made into that sweet-tasting popsicle. You can add fruits, juices, fudge, soda, edible flowers, veggies, jello, or coffee and make all of the popsicles unique. If you love the idea of having popsicles at your wedding reception, then go for the gusto and have a popsicle theme wedding. How cute would that be? You can make a popsicle station, name each table a flavor of a favorite popsicle, decorate a huge popsicle stick with cute sayings, place popsicle party light sets through out the reception place, have popsicle theme balloons floating around the ceilings and popsicle soaps as wedding favors This is just a few ideas I came up with. Where can you buy the popsicle molds and decorations?
You can find some of the coolest popsicle molds at www.Amazon.com, www.Ebay.com, www.Wishingfish.com, www.Tupperware.com, www.Outblush.com; the dollar store or Target might have some as well. For the decorations, you can put "popsicle decoration ideas" into a Google search–it’s all about using your imagination and thinking outside the box. Be original and have fun. You don’t always have to have the same desserts as everyone else. Think of desserts that may blow the guests away with your creativity side. To be even more creative, print out and color some free popsicle coloring pages and hang them up at the reception along with your theme.
