“Firecracker” Rice Treat Pops

Jenny — Sun, 03 Jul 2011 21:08:39 +0000

The other day I saw a super cute cookie treat idea for the 4th of July on CakeSpy- you make cookies with Pop Rocks Candy and then roll the creamy filling with more Pop Rocks for a “firecraker” type of effect when you eat them. I loved the idea- but um, the 4th of July [...]

Craft Product Review: Cricut Cake, part 3: Cheese & Bologna

Jenny — Thu, 08 Jul 2010 13:51:27 +0000

OK, so this is kind of weird- but I wanted to see if the Cricut Cake would cut out bologna & cheese. In other words, something very different from the Fondant and Frosting Sheets that I’d tried out previously. The good news- cutting bologna and pre-wrapped cheese slices (such a Kraft Singles) proved to be [...]

Product Review: ProvoCraft Cricut Cake Frosting Sheets

Jenny — Tue, 06 Jul 2010 14:02:41 +0000

One of the coolest things about the Cricut Cake (or so we’re told) is that you can cut so many different food items with it. Since I am both a cake-decorating novice and a Cricut Cake newbie, I decided to start with what seemed like a simple and stress-free material: Frosting Sheets. Of course, I [...]

Craft Product Review: Cricut Cake, Part One

Jenny — Mon, 05 Jul 2010 13:41:19 +0000

Well… after much debate, I finally plunked down my cash for a CricutCake machine. If you remember, I had attended CHA in January, and was supposed to receive one from Provocraft for free. (!!!) However, on the long trip home with kids and a side trip to Disney, I LOST my coupon for the freebie. [...]

I came up with this project all by my little old self. I signed up for the class parties at my second-graders school, and to keep life simple, I’m bringing the juice boxes for all of the class parties. Only later did I realize what a BORING thing that was, and had to come up [...]
