Instructions: A lemon sorbet dessert called flora bunda is included in "An Invitation to the White House: At Home With History," by first lady Hillary Rodham Clinton.

The dessert is assembled on its platter in the shape of a colorful vase of flowers. The shape of the vase will depend on the shape of the freezing container you make. Use a (64-ounce) plastic juice bottle as your mold; cut it in half lengthwise, and seal the end so the sorbet doesnt leak out.
