Why You’ll Love This DIY Pink Oreo Bouquet
I made my first Oreo cookie bouquet many years ago as a gift for my fellow teachers at the start of a school year. I wanted a treat that was easy to make as I was busy prepping for the school year myself and this idea was perfect. It’s great for anyone to make for any event! I made this one for my husband (he loves white chocolate!) and he loved it.

Yield: About 14 pink cookies
Time to Make: About an hour
It’s ready for gifting!
Ingredients:
1 package Oreo or any sandwich cookies (classic or Double Stuf)
2 tablespoons shortening or coconut oil
Supplies:
6-inch lollipop sticks or wooden skewers
Styrofoam block or floral foam (I used these three 6.5 inch rounds stacked and placed in the basket on their sides)
Spatula
Measuring spoons
Basket (I used the Tulip basket from Target) or a flower pot or planters
Optional: Balloons and balloon holder sticks
Optional: Use lollipop wrappers if you know it won’t be all eaten in one day
Melting the chocolate
Step 1: Melt the Chocolate
Melt your chocolate with 1 tablespoon shortening or coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth. Add a few drops of the pink food coloring and mix until you achieve the pink you want.
Be careful not to overheat the chocolate— smooth, silky chocolate is key for a clean, professional-looking finish.
Adding the sticks
Step 2: Insert the Sticks into the Oreos
Dip the top of a stick into the chocolate and then place it in between the cookie.
Place the cookies on parchment paper and let them set for 10–15 minutes.
Dipping the cookies
Step 3: Dip the Oreos
Add a second tablespoon of shortening to the chocolate and melt and stir again if needed as I did.
Holding the bowl on its side, hold the stick, dip each Oreo fully into the melted pink chocolate. Gently tap off excess coating and place on parchment paper. You can use a knife to get it to cover the whole cookie as needed.
My successful dipped cookie!
If your cookie comes apart….no worries! Put it back together and set aside to cool. You can redip. This happens even to me and it’s not anything you can’t fix.
Immediately add sprinkles or edible glitter before the chocolate sets. You can wipe the sticks clean of any messy chocolate with a damp paper towel.
Let the cookies harden completely (about 20–30 minutes at room temperature or 10 minutes in the fridge).
Adding the floral foam
Step 4: Prepare Your Bouquet Base
Place the floral foam rounds (I used a stack of three turned on their sides) inside your pot, vase, or decorative container. I kept mine in the plastic a bit so it wouldn’t get messy. You could alternatively place it in a plastic freezer bag and leave the top open.
I love the tulip basket!
Cover with tissue paper or shredded paper filler or the garland like I did to hide the foam. This creates the “arrangement” base for your edible flower bouquet.
The dipped cookies
Step 5: Arrange Your Pink Oreo Cookie Bouquet
Once the cookies are fully set, insert the sticks into the foam at varying heights to mimic a real flower bouquet.
Add balloons on the balloon sticks around the cookies for an extra fun touch.
Optional: Fill in gaps with faux flowers, paper hearts, or extra wrapped candies.
The completed basket
How to Store Your Oreo Bouquet
Store at room temperature in a cool, dry place for up to 3 days.
Avoid direct sunlight or heat.
Wrap loosely in cellophane if gifting or place the cookies in lollipop wrappers
