| I played with my food again. I made Phil and these cakes for the after school kids today. |
I started by making three decadent chocolate bundt cakes.
Then I made a silky ganache for the icing.
Chopped up a bunch of chocolate cookies for the dirt.
Then covered the cakes with the ganache and sprinkled the cookie dirt over them.
Surrounded the cakes with green tinted coconut.
And made a totally goofy looking Phil to put in the center of one. BTW...Phil saw his shadow so we should have 6 more weeks of winter. Which means I still have a chance for snow since we have had a horribly mild one so far. Tomorrow I'll show you what I made them for their meal to go along with these.

It's overcast and in the 50's today. we will have some rain coming up from the Gulf coast. But otherwise, I'm feeling much better. This flu is a monster. It took me 48 hours to get over it. Nasty little beasty it is.
I couldn't but smile when I saw the cakes :-)
Have a great day!
Christer.

You're an amazing lady. The gifts you give to "the kids" are wonderful to eat but expands their world view. I'm guessing there's a chance their children will fare better than they have. Hugs to you & your son. How do I know? I was one of those kids a long time ago. Now I'm a good cook who learned to cook Italian, German, Mexican, Japanese, Chinese, & Iranian food (most of it the peasant food) & love feeding others. Bless you for your creativity too--love the groundhog.
