I found this cute ice cream duckies that you can make for the kids, it’s really easy to make them and lots of fun!

RECIPE INGREDIENTS:
	Ice cream, flavor of your choice
	Chocolate chips or raisins
	Orange gumdrop, flattened
	Fruit leather or dried apricots

1. First spread out a paper cupcake liner and set it on a small plate or in a bowl.

2. For the body, place a large scoop of vanilla ice cream or lemon sherbet on top of the liner.

3. Create a neck by topping the body with a spoonful of ice cream and use the bowl of the spoon to flatten it slightly. Place a small scoop of ice cream on the neck for the head. Press on chocolate chips or raisins for eyes.

4. For a beak, flatten an orange gumdrop and cut it into two pieces. Or you can simply insert a shelled peanut into the ice cream.

5. Finally, make webbed feet with pieces of fruit leather or dried apricots.

My daughter’s birthday is only in June but I’m already doing my researches to find out what I’m going to make for her birthday. I have so many ideas and I’m really excited about it. Of course I will be posting pictures of whatever I make for her birthday party on my blog.

I’m searching for the perfect cake, I want it to be pink and white, I want it to be pretty and easy to make. These are some that I have been looking at:

I’m still in doubt which one to choose, I wanted it to be a round cake but I really like the third one. I still have time to choose, but it will definitely be one of those 3.

And of course cupcakes, can’t go without the cupcakes. I posted a video last week on cupcake in ice cream cones, I’m wondering if I should do those, or regular cupcakes or both, I think I might do both. I’m going to make the cupcake stand myself, on cakejournal.com it shows how to make it. I want cupcake that match the cake so I’ll probably design my own.

I’m also thinking about making tuna sandwiches and ham and cheese sandwiches with sliced bread then using a cookie cutter to cut them in different shapes.

I might have some more ideas, but that’s it for now…

Making miniature “tea and toast” which can be a cupcake topper or used as part of a design for a larger cake
