Method
Step 1
To make a full flower: Use 3 circle slices per flower. Gently "taco" each orange circle and place it in the ice tray, forming a flower.
Step 2
To make a flower with a bud: Use 2 circle slices for the outside petals and 3 half-circle slices for the inside bud. Gently "taco" two circles and place them in the ice tray as outside petals. Follow up by "taco-ing" three half slices to form the inner bud.
Step 3
To simply make cute orange slices: Slice circles in half. Drop one half-circle slice per ice cube.
Step 4
Fill each compartment with water up to the rim and place the ice tray in the freezer until frozen (approximately 4-5 hours, depending on the freezer).
