Hibiscus Gumdrop Flowers:
Step #1: To make 3 flowers, place 2 to 3 tablespoons sugar in a small
plastic bag. Shake one large red gumdrop at a time in the sugar. Lay the
bag flat on a work surface. With a rolling pin, flatten the gumdrop into a
2 1/2 inch circle, redistributing sugar over the gumdrop as needed.
Step #2: For each flower, curve red flattened gumdrop into a cup shape.
Pinch the gumdrop "cup" on the bottom to keep the shape. Flatten yellow and
green gumdrops in sugar. Curl each yellow gumdrop and place in center of
flower. Shape green gumdrops to form leaves and position next to flowers.
