Back in the days before my kids (11 and 14) became addicted to their phones, we used to bake cool creations - mostly for bake sales but some just for fun.
This one was by far the most time consuming. It started as a cupcake. The animal crackers were spray painted with food coloring, the center shaft is a pretzel rod dipped in dark chocolate. The crackers are attached to candy canes. Each one took WAY too long to make and was difficult to hold together but it came out great.
These are meringue mushrooms. The are made in 2 sections - the heads and the stems. Dark chocolate holds them together and they are sprinkled with cocoa powder.
Some gumball machines - these were also pretty time consuming.
These hot dogs are Twinkies cut in 1/2 with rolled up brownies in the middle.
Some scuba divers.
These chicken nuggets are actually brownies with icing coated in Frosted Flakes and were brought to one of the class morining get togethers at school and almost nobody ate them because they thought they were real Chicken McNuggets
