Itty Bitty Blue Bears? 

Yes, the mini treats are getting all dressed up for Howloween. Oh it's a fun time all around. I love this time of year. Everybody gets into the spirit of dressing up and just having fun. Trick or treat or rather just treats? Got treat? Check out our new holiday festivities with the howliday iced treats. I decided to give in to the sweet side and just dress up the treats a little. Cute! I love it and now I'm thinking that maybe it may very well be a year round dress up. I mean, who doesn't like getting dressed up? The little bit of sugar makes the treats even better and I don't know anyone who wants anything less than something sweet and good. I may do different flavors using natural extracts in the icing but that takes experimentation...

Happy Howloween again!!

Hahaha...(evil scientist laugh)

Experimentation time with royal icing. So here I added the royal icing finishing to some of the treats for the Paws for Parkinson's Dogs Walk and my treats rejected the icing?! What?! Yes. Indeed, the icing came right off the treats. Fell off. Literally pushed off by the treat. It was almost like it was saying...blah! No sugar! Weird but true. I mean, I wanted it to look festive so without going too into it, I made up a batch of royal icing, colored it orange with a really nice gel food coloring and corneted away. But alas! Foiled again! The treats just pushed that icing right off some of the treats. Not all of them were able to fight the sugar touches so I was able to salvage some of them for the festivities. 

Cute pumpkin treats. But the thing that got me confused was the fact that I could not find my little pumpkin cutters and my mini treat cutters. Weird...I used them last year for a howloween party and then they were nowhere to be seen when I wanted to make some like now.

Why did the buttons stay on and the orange pumpkin stripes fell off? Not sure. I think it may have been the treats itself, perhaps not completely cooled before being iced. Oopsy. Well, we live and learn. Right? I'm looking into it.
