The test kitchen bakers loved Ana. Ana still visits occasionally, 2-year-olds in tow. And when she does, she’ll invariably nose out any chocolate, and treat us to her classic reaction: “Perfect!

Use a skewer or toothpick to push the narrow end of the carrot triangle through the wide hole of each small olive until it pokes out the narrow pitted hole (this is the beak).

Monkey Cupcakes! Today is my godson's first birthday party, and the theme of the party is Curious George. Since I wanted to make something that went along with the theme, I saw a couple designs for monkey cupcakes and created my own twist. I made some banana cupcakes, used some milk chocolate frosting (it's lighter than regular frosting), 3/4 of a regular Nilla Wafer, 2 halves of a Mini Nilla Wafer, and some black and red gel icing for the eyes, nostrils and mouth. They turned out a lot better than I anticipated, though it took a couple tries before I figured what the best design for the eyes.
I'm pretty proud of them! Oh my, I'm turning into a homeroom mom!!! Posted by Yano at September 4, 2006 12:30 PM OMG! Omg, those are beyond cute. :) I was wondering where they got those cookies. Those cupcakes were soooooo gooooodddd wow, those look fantastic! Omg you made those? So cute!!! My niece has loved Curious George since she was a baby. Very cute, Miss Yano. Good job, looks yummy for the tummy.
