Set 1 daisy on top of the other, angling slightly so the petals stagger. Use your finger or a fondant ball to press down on the center of the flower, defining the center and securing the 2 pieces together. Then lift the edges of the petals upward to create that realistic sunflower look.

Add a small amount of edible adhesive to the center of the sunflower and place an upside-down REESE’S Mini Cup on top of it.
