You can even use store-bought cookies and frost them with a can of white frosting and attach a carrot decoration (1st photo). The possibilities are endless! You can melt some white chocolate chips and dip half of an Oreo in there, and put on a carrot ... Dip Fig Newtons completely in melted chocolate and decorate them too (the raspberry ones are especially good).
Cakes, cookies and cupcakes can easily be decorated for EASTER with a cute little carrot. (This is especially nice on a carrot cake). I bought orange JELLY BELLIES (there are containers at the grocery store to buy individual colors) and a tube of GREEN DECORATOR ICING. Any brand of decorator icing is fine, but be sure that it comes with a tip for fine lines (or buy the tips separately). You can use the Sparkle Green Icing too, and just use a dab of it for the carrot leaves, but be aware that this won't harden up like the regular decorator icing.

Cut squash in half lengthwise. Scoop out seeds; discard. Put squash halves, cut sides down, in a microwave-safe bowl. Cover lightly with waxed paper. Microwave at HIGH 20 minutes or until tender. Let stand 10 minutes. Scrape inside of squash with a fork to remove spaghetti-like strands to measure about 4 cups (will probably need to hold the squash with your oven mitts).
No matter how long you've been baking, sometimes unexplainable things happen in your kitchen! ... I was making my grandmother's PEACH BREAD (which I've made for over 40 years), and it just started oozing like crazy over the sides of the pan! ... Luckily, I checked on it about 10 minutes early, so I saw it.
I sprayed 2 mini-pans with non-stick spray. Then sliced the partially-baked peach bread close to the rim of the pan. I put all the half-baked droppings into the mini-pans (don't try to pack them in ~ some pieces will be more baked than others, so just let it free form). Stuck those back into the oven with the 2 breads for about another 5 minutes (since they're just small uncooked pieces in there, they didn't need 10 minutes more). When I took the mini-pans out of the oven, I drizzled the glaze that I'd made for the Peach Bread (brandy/peach glaze) very lightly on top of each one. Let them cool for a few minutes; then turn out onto a plate and drizzle with a little more glaze. They were DELICIOUS! ... and according to my mom's rules of what things don't contain calories, guilt-free too! (One of her items was "things you were going to throw out anyways) ... Whatever, it's YOUR treat and no one else has to know what happened .... (btw: the actual Peach Breads looked just fine when they were done ~ I guess Fate just decided I must be hungry) |
