Almost final product!

After 3 lbs of Rice Krispies, buying Walmart out of their stock of mini marshmallows, and about 6 hours in my kitchen armed with a bottle of PAM....

I managed to make 150 Rice Krispy Treats! They are covered with a square of purple marshmallow fondant and monogrammed with a simple M in lime green royal icing.

They're drying right now...letting the royal icing set and harden before they're popped into some treat bags and tied with some ribbon!

Samples!!!

I'm pleased to say that I have a bunch of cookie orders coming up! I try to sample out the cookies for upcoming customers 1) so they can get an idea of their final product and 2) so they can tweak the design however they'd like!

My girlfriend Susan has a little one named Jackie who is turning 1 next weekend!! Susan and her husband are friends that lived a couple blocks away from us in Newport. We've since moved to a land far far away from Aquidneck Island called Exeter. Here's a little sample..unfortunately i just did the sample in colors on hand...little Jackie's cookies will be much more colorful..just wanted her momma to get a feel for the design!

It's been a while....

my blogging adventures took a little vacation...but my cookie making hasn't. Today, I find myself up to my neck in Rice Krispies!!!! You see, my older sister Heather is getting married this weekend. Of course, what type of family wedding doesn't have favors from me :).

Heather wanted a monogram cookie..nothing too over the top, just square with her new last name initial on it. However, the cookie lacked a little bulk...so I figured to plump it up a bit..what better than a rice krispie treat! I love they way they look..and after 5 hours in the kitchen...130 rice krispie treats are now gracing my kitchen.





The treats are covered with a square of bright purple fondant. That's how far I got tonight...I'm tired after dealing with juvenile delinquents all day..tomorrow I will pipe the details in lime green royal icing to match the wedding colors....pictures of the final product will be posted soon!!!
