Do you like lollipops? Do you like them but wish maybe there were some more grown-up options besides the kinds you can find at the store (not that we're knocking those)? Well, then you might just be in luck.
Janet Best, owner of Sugar Bakers Bakery, creates lollipops with a stylish, grown-up twist that you might not expect — flowers!
That's right, many flowers are actually completely edible, and they lend a delicate, springtime prettiness to the lollipops, which come in a variety of flavors.
And really, there's always something delightful about learning that you can eat something you might not have thought of as food.
Like this sparkling crystal that's actually entirely made of sugar and chocolate that makes for a magical dessert centerpiece.
And with a selection of unusual flavors like cotton candy, lavender, and key lime pie, Janet's lollipops are a little different on the taste front, too.
Check out some of her confections below, and you can see how they'd add a burst of color and character to any spring party.

Janet creates these beautiful lollipops using simple, natural ingredients and homegrown flowers for an added bit of beauty.
Many of them can be custom-made, too, so they can fit in with color schemes and favorite flavors.
The flowers are all grown indoors, so they're free from contamination from bugs, pesticides, or other environmental factors.
And while they don't add a ton of flavor to the lollipops, they certainly add a lot of charm.
And they're perfect for any occasion. This red-white-and-blue lollipop is perfect for a Fourth of July party!
Janet also uses all-natural ingredients for her candies, so you won't get any synthetic additives. Just old-fashioned candy!
In addition to a number of unusual flavors, she also creates candies using alcohol for an even more grown-up treat.
Although you can enjoy them even if you don't imbibe, since the alcohol is cooked off during the process, leaving just the flavor.
They make great party favors and treats for all kinds of occasions.
Janet has created confections for parties, weddings, business events, and just for everyday snacking!
She likes providing a healthier alternative to store-bought candies without sacrificing sweetness and flavor.
For example, she never uses high-fructose corn syrup in any of her candy, and opts for cane sugar instead.
These lavender pops are also flavored with real lavender oil and flowers, which are not only delicious, but have calming effects, too! Plus, look how pretty they are.
And because they're handmade, no two are ever exactly alike, which gives them even more personality.
Her Etsy shop stocks all kinds of these floral lollies, as well as many other types of hard and molded candies and plenty of other treats.
And the nice thing about custom candy? You can get any flavor, color, and flower you want!
They're almost too pretty to eat, but we're sure that once you give them a taste, you'll get over it.
And with (relatively) healthy and all-natural ingredients, you can enjoy a sweet treat without ingesting a lot of artificial substances.
