Creative food craft ideas
I found the super cute Sweet Lollipop Shop on etsy via flickr after posting my own, horribly-lame-in-comparison lollies (seen here). The shop offers every lollipop shape imaginable for every occasion imaginable. A miniscule sweet sampling: this little piggy, a VW bug, and cowboy boots.

Since I’ve been getting into easy decorating with candy lately, I of course love this candy cake slideshow from Martha. Some of my faves: this licorice lace cake, this jellybean cake, this truffle tower cake, and out of season, I suppose, but I love this peppermint cake still.
I merely glimpsed this cake and immediately wanted to reach through the computer screen and grab a handful. How easy and colorful and sweet and yummy does this look? Or is it just my chocolate addiction talking? Find the how-tos for creating this Kit Kat and M and M cake here at Paige’s Pantry.… Read More ...

But less than a week to go (and still the results of the Washington Post Peeps Show to share, so at least one more). But to see some Peeps at their sillyest, pop on over to CakeSpy. See Peeps a … Read More ...
Not exactly sure I can get away with posting on these daffodils made from coffee filters as edible crafts, but coffee is most certainly in the edible category. And most certainly a consumable staple of existence. And I love these simple-to-make flowers. Find the idea and how-tos here at FamilyCorner.com.

One of my favorite sites, The Kitchn (part of Apartment Therapy), has assembled a selection of pretty spring cookies here, such as these gorgeous bird cookies from Eleni’s.
