Say it with a Kiss – Hershey Kiss birthday cake

Hershey shaped cake with levels of Hershey kisses, with a bit Hershey kiss on top. What more could a girl ask for? Yay chocolate.

This one was for L’s birthday in ‘09 and you can see in the picture below there was lots of lovey dovey accents with heart plates, red/pink decorations, and even red kool-aid to match.

As per our usual tradition of not being allowed to see the cake until the moment the party is ready to light the candles and blow them out, here’s L waiting anxiously:

Does that not look anxious enough? How about this one then?

Yeah, excitement does funny things to one’s face, hehe.

Don’t let the Love Bugs bite

These were great back at Valentine’s Day, but even after the fact, I can see them making adorable little Martians. Can you picture them in green?

Dip them in chocolate first like I did with these marshmallow pops and the kids will go even crazier. Well, maybe that’s not such a good thing after all, but at least the treats will be adorable.

The attack of the killer onions

Sometimes these things just happen. Maybe not overnight….maybe not even over a week….but they happen.

And when they do, you use it as a science lesson for the kids as though it’s nothing out of the ordinary to have onions starting to climb out of the cabinet. Yeah, I know you can see the one in the back that is reaching all the way forward and up the next shelf.

Oops.
