think of it this way...if it looked as cute as the picture, you couldn't eat it!

You guys were lucky. Ours came out like this.
Posted by: Meanie the Blue | April 12, 2009 at 04:43 PM
I like the reality chick. It looks like it has a little blue and pink 'stache.
Posted by: Cat R | April 12, 2009 at 04:58 PM
I think it's cute. Anybody can make it look like the one in the picture but the one you make is one of a kind. That's what I've always told my kids. We put a gingerbread house together one year at Christmas and ended up using Elmers glue to keep it from falling apart.
Posted by: nursecindy | April 12, 2009 at 05:01 PM
Someone told me that Elmer's glue tastes just like chicken...

We just take all that colored stuff and press it in a rectangular pan then cut it in small squares and eat it.

Awwwww.. probably done by Sophie herself...

I once made a birthday cake from Woman's Day magazine for my then-6-year-old daughter. It was a beach scene, complete with blue water (Jell-O™), sea life (Pepperidge Farm™ goldfish), and bathing beauties playing volleyball (Teddy Grahams™ wearing candy bikinis).
It was supposed to look something like this.
It didn't.
But it was blue.
They don't ask me to make cakes anymore.
Posted by: Cat R | April 12, 2009 at 05:10 PM
When my kids realized a project would never look like the picture they just decided to go the Picasso route.
Posted by: Loudmouth | April 12, 2009 at 05:12 PM
Cat I tried to make that same cake! I thought, "How hard can it be?" After seeing my effort I realized it can be pretty hard. My teddy grahams looked like they wanted to drown themselves and some of the goldfish looked like they were belly up. I just go to the bakery now.
Posted by: nursecindy | April 12, 2009 at 05:15 PM
Gee, Sophie had a lot of Rice Krispies left over... If I were to make up that recipe, I'd have been nibblin' before it was done. When it WAS done, my chick would'a looked like this: o
just sayin' that girl's got some self-discipline.
Posted by: Wyo Cowboy | April 12, 2009 at 05:17 PM
*sympathysnork* at nursecindy!
Wasn't that blue Jell-o™ horrid? LOL
Posted by: Cat R | April 12, 2009 at 05:19 PM
It was awful Cat. You know now that I think about it I never had to ask the kids not to eat our creations all at once.
Posted by: nursecindy | April 12, 2009 at 05:25 PM
It looks a bit like Yosemite Sam don't you think?
Posted by: Mot the Hoople | April 12, 2009 at 05:42 PM
I always felt guilty for not making that beach cake, cause my daughter wanted it. I was suspicious, knowing my abilities, that it would look like a typhoon hit it. Reading the testimonials here, I'm glad I used my better judgement. ;)
Love the Easter Hamster. And that link meanie posted made me think of jabba the hut. lol
Posted by: Wizzy | April 12, 2009 at 05:48 PM
I never did attempt to make any of those creative food projects. I knew better. ALWAYS went to the bakery.
Dave, that is way way cute. As long as it didn't come out looking like a squirrel, it's perfectly acceptable.
Posted by: Siouxie | April 12, 2009 at 05:54 PM
Cat, nursecindy - there are several housewives in my neighborhood who can make that cake.
They're all insane.
Not worth the tradeoff, imho.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | April 12, 2009 at 05:55 PM
The 'Reality' chick looks like Groucho.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | April 12, 2009 at 05:56 PM
I think it resembles the gopher from Caddyshack.
"I got to get into this dude's pelt and crawl around for a few days. Who's the gopher's ally. His friends. The harmless squirrel and the friendly rabbit."
Posted by: Horace LaBadie | April 12, 2009 at 05:57 PM
I bet Sophie was completely happy with the way it turned out. Hilarious though!
Posted by: Margaritaville | April 12, 2009 at 06:08 PM
So...did anyone eat it?
Posted by: Siouxie | April 12, 2009 at 06:12 PM
Dave would answer you, but he's busy chewing.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | April 12, 2009 at 06:20 PM
explains why there are no passover bunnies....
Posted by: queensbee | April 12, 2009 at 06:25 PM
There is NO wrong way to make Rice Krispie treats!
Yum!
Posted by: Guin | April 12, 2009 at 06:37 PM
And o/t: The SEALS rescued Captain Phillips from the Pirates!
Go Navy!
Posted by: Guin | April 12, 2009 at 06:40 PM
It just looks a little melted is all.
YAY for the SEALS!
Posted by: Siouxie | April 12, 2009 at 06:50 PM
More here...
And just to show that stupidity doesn't take a day off on Easter: we have this... (Maybe the remaining pirate could take her place...)
Posted by: Steve Haller | April 12, 2009 at 06:55 PM
She worked verwwy,verwwy hard to get into that pool with the bears.
Posted by: ron | April 12, 2009 at 07:03 PM
Bacon rice krispies treats
YUMM!
Posted by: Siouxie | April 12, 2009 at 07:10 PM
Did I hear there was a birthday
girlCat here?Posted by: Steve Haller | April 12, 2009 at 07:36 PM
We've been waiting for days and finally the SEALs rescued the Captain while snipers blew away three of the pirates.
Good does win over evil sometimes.
Posted by: Jeff Meyerson | April 12, 2009 at 07:44 PM
I do not attempt to make cakes pictured in magazines. I take the pictures to a local professional cake shop. Where I can fret about raspberry versus lemon filling. For $5 extra, moms can rave about the pretty cake which I have to then admit, with great sadness, that I wish I had the time to make myself *sigh* but alas I was so busy with details making sure the kids would have a great time. (This is code for I don't bake)
Posted by: Cheryl Howard | April 12, 2009 at 07:58 PM
Yes, sometimes. Wish it were moretimes. I am so glad to hear that they rescued him especially since he so unselfishly offered up himself to save his crew. He is a true Captain.
Posted by: Margaritaville | April 12, 2009 at 07:58 PM
" New Yorker " recipes aren't worth a darn.
Posted by: Clankazoid | April 12, 2009 at 08:29 PM
Why do we celebrate Easter by ripping the heads off of sweet chicks and bunnies?
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | April 12, 2009 at 08:55 PM
Cuz it's chocolate??
Posted by: Siouxie | April 12, 2009 at 09:01 PM
And goes well with boxed wine?
Sounds good to me!
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | April 12, 2009 at 09:14 PM
*clinks wine glasses with Annie*
Posted by: Siouxie | April 12, 2009 at 09:23 PM
Siouxie did you know there is a website called ilovebacon.com ? It shows several wonderful recipes for bacon and also talks about edible bacon underwear. For that special man in your life.
Posted by: nursecindy | April 12, 2009 at 09:37 PM
I guess I need to find me a special man, huh??
*starts research*
Posted by: Siouxie | April 12, 2009 at 10:24 PM
I can think of a couple for you. Sharkie, Jazzzz, Hammie, Allen, and I would say Jeff but he'd just say he already did that 3 days ago at 8 a.m. Just a thought.
Posted by: nursecindy | April 12, 2009 at 10:36 PM
I don't think Siouxie meant 'special' as in 'short-bus special.' ;p
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | April 12, 2009 at 10:41 PM
LMAO Annie. You got my back, amiga!
Posted by: Siouxie | April 12, 2009 at 10:45 PM
and *snork* @ cindy! Jeff would say that!
Posted by: Siouxie | April 12, 2009 at 10:49 PM
After looking the above list over I have to agree Annie. No offense to any guys on the above list. Remember Siouxie if you find a perfect guy make sure he has a couple of brothers. One for me and one for Annie.
Posted by: nursecindy | April 12, 2009 at 10:50 PM
Perfect man?? Might take a while.
Waiting for the perfect man.
Posted by: Siouxie | April 12, 2009 at 10:59 PM
I'll settle for trainable.
Posted by: nursecindy | April 12, 2009 at 11:08 PM
I'd settle for ambulatory.
Not really, but I felt like whining.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | April 12, 2009 at 11:11 PM
trainable?? get a dog!
Posted by: Siouxie | April 12, 2009 at 11:12 PM
Good evening all.It's still snowing here.
How trainable?
Posted by: ron | April 12, 2009 at 11:13 PM
*throws ron a bone*
CATCH!
Posted by: Siouxie | April 12, 2009 at 11:18 PM
*Waits for fake stick throw*
Posted by: Meanie the Blue | April 12, 2009 at 11:19 PM
Okay maybe trainable was the wrong word. I was thinking of the old saying, get 'em young and train 'em right. How about just sweet, with a good disposition and a great sense of humor. And a job. Ron you should really think about moving to a place where it doesn't snow all the time. I have a friend that moved here from Duluth and she has some very scary snow stories. (pats meanie on the head and gives him a treat)
Posted by: nursecindy | April 12, 2009 at 11:30 PM
Good boy, Meanie!
Posted by: Siouxie | April 12, 2009 at 11:36 PM
*Barks at front door, grabs snack from counter while no one is looking*
Posted by: Meanie the Blue | April 12, 2009 at 11:37 PM
Siouxie I already have 2 chihuahuas and a yellow lab. I can't train them either. Please forgive any dumb remarks blog guys. I think you're all great. I have a horrible head cold and a birthday coming up which always gets me down. Plus I did my taxes today and owe 900.00.
Posted by: nursecindy | April 12, 2009 at 11:37 PM
((((((((((((((((cindy))))))))))
hugs to you!!!
Posted by: Siouxie | April 12, 2009 at 11:40 PM
For nursecindy.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | April 12, 2009 at 11:40 PM
on that note, I'll be off. We're almost at the end of tax HELL so the next 3 days are gonna be rough.
Niters all!! Sweet dreams! (and cindy, we do love our blog boys and they know it)
Posted by: Siouxie | April 12, 2009 at 11:41 PM
Thanks. You all are the best. Good night.
Posted by: nursecindy | April 12, 2009 at 11:45 PM
Whoa - simul with Siouxie is a great way to end the day. 'Nite all!
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | April 12, 2009 at 11:45 PM
Here we are having another bout of winter.Cold,blowing snow.How wonderful.
Posted by: ron | April 13, 2009 at 06:44 AM
Clear and cold in NY metro area.
*awaits ron's sports wrapup*
Posted by: Meanie the Blue | April 13, 2009 at 07:01 AM
if anyone needs me, i'll be whipping up (heh!) a perfect man for annie, siouxie and nurse cindy out of these leftover rice krispies.
Posted by: crossgirl | April 13, 2009 at 07:30 AM
LTTG. Happy recent Bday Cat, Happy future Bday cindy, words of comfort to snowy ron and Huzzah to our seals. Yup, I think I'm caught up.
Posted by: NotSherly | April 13, 2009 at 08:04 AM
Oh yah, and hang in there Siouxie, Annie and cindy. Ya'll are funny, sexy women!
Posted by: NotSherly | April 13, 2009 at 08:06 AM
Thanks, NSherly! I'm just waiting to eat crossgirl's krispies man! (make mine chocolate).
Posted by: Siouxie | April 13, 2009 at 09:22 AM
In the course of a misspent life I have learned never to try to make cakes or other desserts pictured in magazines. Life's too short. On the upside, the corollary is that the messier the dessert looks, the better it tastes. (Usually.)
