Pineapple Expressed

Using this great pineapple ice cube tray I molded these delightful candy pineapples as gifts for the holidays.

The pineapple has long been seen as a symbol of hospitality. These candy pineapples are heavenly tasting and make the perfect hostess gift for all of our parties and events. Using Bakerella yellow and green candy wafers, the candy centers are filled with bits of candied pineapple and I used candied basil leaves in the green "steams".

Have the happiest of holidays!
