Normally by now I’ve posted a few Thanksgiving fun food recipes. Apparently I’m a little slow this year. I can’t believe this is our first (and only one!) But it is a fun one. How cute are these little guys? I thought my kids would have a great time making these. I bought all the […]
For Halloween do you do silly fun or gory? We always do silly fun but I do like a little bit of the gross. So when I saw these cupcakes over on Pinterest (my new love) from Cakehead Loves Evil I knew we had to make them. Totally cool, right?!?! We made stained glass candy […]
We’re taking a little break from all of our holiday desserts to bring you a dinner idea. Crazy, right? Not so much if you know me. I just love making fun foods for my kids and with Easter coming up, I thought these Sloppy Joe Baskets would be fun to serve for dinner. They look […]
I’m not much of a prankster. It’s not that I don’t think they’re funny. I just don’t do them. Well, not a lot at least =o) So for me, April Fools Day isn’t really a big deal. But it’s like I said in my St. Patrick’s Day post, “now that I’m a Mom I have […]
Magic banana? Yep, magic banana. Well, magic banana trick maybe. I guess the banana itself isn’t magic. Or maybe it is. Either way, your kids will think you are magic! Are you ready??? Your going to give your kids bananas and say “abracadabra” and then poof – their banana will be already sliced inside the […]
I had all these grand plans to do great things this Easter. Some of them got done but a lot of them are still in my “to do” pile. Crud. At 6am when I was getting ready to pack my kid’s lunch for school I remembered I wanted to pack their lunch a little differently. […]
I can’t believe it’s the middle of October and I haven’t even posted a Halloween recipe or crafts yet. Ugh. Life is a little overwhelming right now but I’ve decided to kick it into gear and get my Halloween on. So the first Halloween recipe for this year is for Candy Corn Cookies. Aren’t they […]
The weather here in Oregon has been really off the past couple of months. It was stinkin’ hot for awhile and then summer kind of disappeared the end of August. I’m not real happy about it. I LOVE the nice weather. Well, let me rephrase that. I love wearing flip flops and shorts. My wardrobe […]

I love it! I’m so going to do this. Thanks!!!
Well that’s the most fun! I’m so filing it away for ‘soon.’
How do you get brown caulk for the chocolate frosting?
I made these before they are soo cool! I used white caulking and then I just spray painted the whole thing again so the white caulking turned brown.
Kristin – caulking comes in lots of different colors.
This is too fun! I have 14 grandkids all over the country. I love to send them ‘happy mail’! Great idea.
How did they handle transit through the USPS? We’re they still intact?
What a great idea! This is great Erin!
So cute! I love this! I thought it was real cake when I first looked at it. You are the best mom for doing all these great things with your kids:)
This is brilliant! I love your conversation at the post office! I bet the faces of the recipients were fabulous as well!
Those are super cute!! We’ve make sponge cakes for our play kitchen before 🙂 mmm yummy yummy cake 🙂
Thanks for sharing at Sharing Saturday!
great idea, and the result is very cute! Tina
This is SO SO cute! I love it and I’m sure the bday kid would too! You are a Featured Favorite this week on Saturday Show & Tell on Cheerios and Lattes! We loved having you join us last week and can’t wait to see what you have been up to this week! Have a great weekend!
Mackenzie 🙂
ok, I’m definitely making these. I wish I had thought of it.
you have such creative ideas…so glad you share them with us!
These are great! I have never thought to mail anything that wasn’rt in a envelope or a box. I love the Easter eggs. That would make a great card/gift. I am going to have to come up with something fun to mail to my sister. Love these!
an awesome ideal, everybody would love these
Nice idea. The chocolate one looks so real.
Wow it looks so real! Neat idea!
What a great idea. Thank you for sharing.

Wow, they look so real! I really thought they were pieces of very sponge-y cake! This is such a clever idea and would make for a real surprise to receive in the mail! The acrylic caulking really does look so much like frosting, it’s unbelievable! Thanks for sharing this excellent idea!
That is so cool I thought it was real cake and now im hungry..lol
Haha this is unique. My friends would love this. And I can imagine the look on every single mailman/woman when they think they just grabbed a real piece of cake from the outgoing stack =P
Wow, that is so cute and so funny! I had no idea you could put something like that in the mail.
Very coll idea, great way to spend time with the kids creating them and eating
What a cute idea, I love your crafts!
I so love this idea. I must try this!
