Happy Birthday, Dad!
Shopping for birthday presents (or any presents) can be pretty difficult. I always want to make sure I find something functional but not totally boring.
Enter: Pinterest.
Earlier this week I was perusing and stumbled on this little gem a.k.a. an adorable candy bouquet. Immediately I thought that it would be a perfect/fun gift for my dad.
I was convinced that just arranging candy in a fancy manner wasn't enough of a gift for my awesome dad. So after collaborating with my friend Melissa, I decided to stick a gift card to a restaurant in there.
I knew that I wanted to use Junior Mints to cover part of the base, so I measured a box of them first and then went on my way to JoAnn fabrics to purchase a styrofoam block used in flower arrangements.
Then I hit up Fred Meyer for LOADS of candy and BBQ skewers.
When I got home I busted out my hot glue gun (seriously, if you don't have one you NEED to go out and purchase one STAT). I then used the hot glue gun to attach the box candy (Junior Mints and Good & Plenties) to the styrofoam floral block.
After the block was finished, I hot glued all the other candies (and gift card) to their own BBQ skewer.
The next part was a little scary because I didn't want to end up with a billion holes in the styrofoam block- so I had to make sure that I carefully selected and placed each candy skewer.
Since the gift card was really the most important part of the gift, I chose to make the it the center of the arrangement,so I placed it first. I then carefully positioned the rest of the candy skewers in the styrofoam block- placing them carefully so they camouflaged the other skewers. Naturally, there were always going to be some showing, so I inserted tissue paper to do some more disguising.
To make a smoother transition between the box candy vase, and the skewer arrangement, I decided to hot glue a ribbon around the top of the boxes... I was going to add a bow, but I had great difficulty in creating one, so I decided to scrap it in the end.

Peach Crisp
Ali's Peach Crisp
Pie Crust
I used store bought, but you can certainly be more domestic and make your own.
Peach Filling
6 medium to large fresh Grossen peaches
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons flour
Great Grandma' Ella's Crisp Topping
1/2 cup softened butter NOT margarine
1 cup flour
1/2 cup brown sugar.
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 425 degrees.
2. Make crust or buy pre-made at the store and place in your pie plate.
3. Prepare peaches by peeling and thinly slicing them. ** If you have difficulty peeling your peaches, you can blanch them for 20 seconds in a boiling pot of water.
4. Make the filling using a large bowl and a rubber spatula, gently combine peaches, brown sugar, and flour
5. Using the rubber spatula, gently spoon the peach filling into the pie plate, on top of the pie crust.
6. To make the crumble combine brown sugar, flour,and butter in a small bowl. I usually use a pastry cutter but your hands will work fine too. Work the mixture until it forms clumps.
7. Evenly sprinkle the crisp topping on top of the peach filling
8. Place the pie plate on top of a cookie sheet and then in the oven. ** I usually cover my cookie sheet in aluminum foil for faster clean up.
9. Bake at 425 for 15 minutes to brown the crumble topping. Reduce oven temperature to 375 and cook for 45 minutes to an hour. Then let it cool on a wire rack 1 1/2 hours before serving.
