Make a sugar cookie dessert pizza with powdered sugar icing and lots of fruits - blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, oranges, bananas, mellon, pineapples - to look like a beach ball

I’ve made the same style of sugar cookie dessert pies before, but never thought to arrange the fruit like this instead. It would obviously be great for just about any summer cookout. Bonus points if it takes place on the beach or poolside.

Hungry Happenings has the full picture tutorial. :)

Leggo blocks made out of carrots, potato, squash, rutabaga, etc, and sometimes even tofu. Soak carrots, potato, squash, rutabaga, and tofu in water, cut and poke holes out and push up, to create fun lego block treats.

Full LEGO tutorial

Making LEGO blocks out of fondant or some sugary treat wouldn’t be too hard, but I love that these are made out of vegetables instead. Not only does it encourage playing with your food some, but it also means eating something healthy in the process instead of pure junk.

I see a lot of cupcakes.
I mean, A LOT of cupcakes. They’re everywhere, all the time, even on sites completely unrelated to food. I love cupcakes (and cake pops, for that matter, which is also rather faddy), but I could easily flood a site with cupcakes in no time. Sometimes I save some that stand out as really unique and plan to blog about them, but never do.
So here’s some just from the last few months that I held onto.
Wicket Witch Crushed by a Cupcake – Love this one! We see characters put on top of cupcakes all the time, but to flip it over as part of a scene? Very cute.

Starry Night Cupcakes Cake – I’m usually not a fan of cupcake cakes, but this one is really well done as the famous Starry Night painting.

Sesame Street cupcakes – Annie was awesome enough to do a full photo tutorial for these. You’ll love how Big Bird’s beak was created.

Santa Claus hats – So what if this is April? They’re awesome. :P

Muppets – We’ve seen a lot of Muppet creations, too, but I still think these are the best cupcakes I saw.

Indiana Jones – Simple, and yet, oh so awesome.

High heeled cupcakes – These gets points just for not being only cupcakes.
