April Fool’s Day foods
April Fool’s Day! I’m not a fan of this day, mostly because I am stupid enough to fall for a lot of pranks. But I don’t mind falling for sweet pranks. Here are some of my favorite foods that aren’t exactly what you think…
Watermelon Ice Cream Bombe (recipe, here)
BOMBE! My most requested party dessert, it takes time to layer it, but so worth the work. A lime sherbet ‘shell’, encasing a thin layer of vanilla for the ‘rind’ and filled with refreshing raspberry sorbet. The ‘seeds?’ Mini chocolate chips of course.
Burger Bite cookies (recipe, here)
My FAVE cookie of all time, the Burger. But it’s not a burger, it’s a peppermint patty sandwiched between two nilla wafers with some dyed coconut for ‘lettuce’. The combination is surprisingly refreshing and it’s the perfect sized’burger’ for your sweet tooth.
Peanut Butter Cup Brownie Cupcakes (recipe, here)
Mmm. A cupcake. No. Wait. It’s a brownie. Hang on – there’s a peanut butter cup inside! Sugar overload. One of these will get you through the day but I bet you’ll eat more than that…
Garden Bug cupcakes (recipe, here)
Ugh! There’s bugs in my food! Well, sort of. But they’re the harmless sugary kind. This is one project the kids will be more than happy to help you with – edible dirt and bugs? You bet!
Corn on the Cob cupcakes (recipe,here)
I have to admit, these look a little too real to me when I made them. I think it’s the ‘butter’.
My mom totally made me burger sandwich cookies for my birthday every year when I was young. So cute!
You were kind enough to give my husband and I some burger cookies when we visited your booth at Comic Con 2 years ago. They were yummy! I’ve been a fan of justjenn designs ever since!
