I saw this “recipe” in the Family Fun magazine while at the Doctor’s office and thought I’d give it a try. Anything to make dinner time fun, right? My kids LOVED it! And it was easy to make. I took hot dogs and cut them into 4 pieces. Then I took raw spaghetti noodles and […]
I’ve decided I love my food markers. I mean seriously. Who ever came up with that idea is a genius. Because we’re having so much fun with them. Who wouldn’t love a cup of this hot chocolate in the morning?! My kids thought it was great. They thought I bought the marshmallows like this. […]
This may not look like much but let me tell you… it is delicious! My kids and I love root beer floats and have seen a lot of homemade popsicles out there that claim to be rootbeer floats, but they are imposters. Thanks to Almost Unschoolers for this amazing find because here is a real […]
I’m totally having fun with this whole fun food for dinner Saturday night. I love seeing my kid’s faces when I put their plate on the table. I love hearing “no way. Great job, Mom.” It makes my entire day! And how could I not make this for Halloween?!?! I’m not sure where I saw […]
My daughter’s pre-school class has been learning Japanese all year. It’s so cool to hear her speak and she is so proud when she comes home and tells me the new words she has learned. At the school’s Spring Fling Bar-B-Que her class sang “Jesus Loves Me” in Japanese! In Japanese!!! She’s 5 years old! […]
My daughter saw these wonderful looking treats in her Fancy Nancy Tea Parties book. (Did I mention we LOVE Fancy Nancy?!) Her books are stupendous (that’s fancy for great!) I did an earlier post from this book as well. Click here to see it. So Ellie saw these and said to me “oh, let’s make […]
Do they look like hot dogs? Of course they do. But are they? Well, sort of. They’re hot dogs, but not the kind you eat for lunch. You eat these hot dogs for dessert! I found the recipe for these over on The Seven Year Cottage. I changed it up just a little bit. They used […]
I know today is November 1st and Breast Cancer Awareness month was October but I just had to share this one with you. Plus today is “Wear Pink” day at my school. So, of course I had to bring cookies to help celebrate! And not just any cookies… Mammo-graham cookies. Ha! Get it?! Mammo – […]

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!

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!
