Bacon Bouquet
You read that right, a bacon bouquet. Bacon, the little slice of heaven. The high five in your mouth. The thing that makes the world go 'round. This is the best way to show someone you love them. At least, it would work for me.
Here is what you will need:
- 1 pack of Bacon (any flavor you would like, I used maple)
- Vase
- Ribbon
- Plastic Roses
- Cookie Sheet
- Toothpicks
- Aluminum Foil
Put aluminum foil on cookie sheet and open up your bacon. You don't need the vase and plastic roses yet, so set those aside.
Taking one strip at a time, roll bacon. Place toothpicks cross cross each other on the farthest you can go on your rolled bacon. The toothpicks stand the bacon upright so they don't fall over while baking. Roll all the bacon and place evenly on the cookie sheet.
*If you want to make a "super rose" roll 2 pieces together. You will make a giant delicious bacon rose.*
Put bacon in oven and on the middle rack and bake 30-40 minutes.
While your bacon is being baked, pop the fake roses off of the stem. And replace the rounded "leaves" with the plastic stub. You want the cup looking leaf part to be about a half an inch to an inch below the stub of the rose so the bacon doesn't bend the stem. I have seen people use electrical tape to tape the stems together, but I didn't have an issue with them falling over.
Once bacon is baked, remove toothpicks, and place bacon crispy side up on the rose stubs. Add ribbon to the vase to pretty-it-up and voila!! You have your bacon bouquet.
This works for mainly anything, but I made it for father's day. Let's just say, my dad LOVED it!!!
I hope you enjoy making this and they enjoy eating it.
Thanks for reading.
