Wrapping paper looks like burger – Would you like ribbon fries with that?

Wrapping paper that looks like a cheeseburger with sesame seed buns, patty, lettuce, tomato, cheese boxes

Actually, I’d love some curly fries now….

Unfortunately, this isn’t available for Christmas this year. It’s shame, too; I’ve seen it listed in so many places this season that I can only imagine how much they would’ve sold.

Instead, it’s on Kickstarter and you can “preorder,” in a sense, and expect orders to be filled in a couple months. They’ve already reached their funding goal by a long shot, so start thinking of the gifts you’d wrap in this awesome paper.

I’m thinking books are an obvious route, with them easily being the right shape and something you might give multiples of at once. Maybe boxes of chocolate for Valentine’s Day?

Leftover Halloween candy makes the best cake decorations.
 
It started with this cake pan….
 
Wilton Smiling Snowman Cake Pan - Gumdrop and pretzel pipe, candy corn nose, charcoal buttons
 
And led to all sorts of creative decisions over what might work for each item needed.

I had no idea candy canes would sort of melt when you attempt to crush them up, but it added a really nice touch for the scarf. This is really the only part I helped with other than the occasional tip on how to get the icing smoother or agreeing that this or that candy would work great.

This was from last year, so I don’t actually remember whose idea was which or what exactly was used. I assumed it was a pretzel stick for the pipe, but nope, upon further inspection, it’s actually a cinnamon stick, hehe.

So intent. And all working together! Impossible….must be photoshopped. :P

Twist old treats into new holiday fun – Olive penguins with Santa hats

Photobucket

Now I’ve done the cheeseball igloo thing before.

But seeing Smockity Frocks update the little penguins with Christmas hats makes me want to try my hand at it again. They’re somehow even cuter all dressed up. I can picture the igloo with garland or a string of decorative lights. Maybe some rice krispy reindeer for dessert?
