Lions, but no Tigers or Bears - Oh, my

 So for Eli's class - we tried an experiment from the cookbook, Hello Cupcake.  Since Eli wants to be a lion for Halloween, I thought I would treat his class to some out-of-the-ordinary lion cupcakes in honor of him turning 2.  So... many licorice shoe strings cut into 3/4" 'hairs' later, blue mini M&Ms, apple jacks, heart-shaped Runts, along with orange, brown and specks of white frosting later...you have 17 lions for some Pennie Toddlers!

Derek was the art-teest with the "fur" as you can see by the middle lion here - pretty darn cute!

And then we have the Hannah version (Eli just ate them)...the version only the Miller Household could ever enjoy (more slobber and frosting tasting than anything else -yikes!)

The proud birthday boy - more frosting and tops of the cupcakes eaten than anything else ---- yeah he ate 2...so did his sister!

Yes - Hannah was decorating mostly like this - hence the reason for the Miller household version of the cupcakes.

Yuuuummmmy!

Mom - please can I have some more frosting and Apple Jacks???

Over exposed close-up...need some hints from my high school friend Mel about how to take amazing food picts with my point-and-shoot camera...

Looks like a fun time was had by all! Sorry I missed it (and I'm not 'lion!'). Love you all!
