Pupcakes!

Whenever we go out of town, we have a specific dog sitting company we use to care for Jade and Rena. They are AWESOME and the pups love the 2 ladies that run the business. Shout out to Theresa and Shannon! They contacted me a few weeks ago to enlist my help in making some cupcakes shaped like PUPS...that's why I called them Pupcakes. Theresa dropped off the book Hello, Cupcakes and wanted me to give it a go. I decided to do a trial run before I fully committed to them. These are for a very special occasion, and if I wasn't going to be able to reproduce them to their satisfaction, I wanted them to have time to locate someone else. Never fear though...I made them all the last 2 days. The book is VERY descriptive on how to make these edible K-9s. I'm glad I tried these because I will need to make a few variations in regards to the size of the marshmallows used to make most of the snouts. Also, I need to find chocolate covered sunflower seeds for the eyes, and Famous Chocolate Waffers for the snouts and ears! If anyone sees them in either Fayetteville or Raleigh/Durham, please let me know! This order isn't due until the first week of March, so I have some time to locate these last few things.

Rice Krispies ON A STICK!

I wanted to do something special for the boys to take to Mother's Day Out for their 3rd birthday. Hard to believe, I know! I stuck with rice krispie treats, made them look like sports balls (the only thing they play with right now) and put it on a stick. Apparently, putting things on a stick are the total rave right now. ;)

I used store bought icing and dyed it to the appropriate color. I added powdered sugar to the icing to thicken it up and help it harden a little when it dries. I just used little ziploc bags to pipe the decorations on them. I don't think the moms will be very happy with me about giving their kiddos a sugar high! I'm hoping to send these HOME with the kids and let the parents decide when the kids can have them.
