A Summer Picnic Lunch!
First off a big thank you to Hani from Haniela's and Beth from Hungry Happenings for organizing this summer picnic blog party and for inviting me to participate. I always have so much fun with blog parties because I love seeing what everyone comes up with!
I started off with a piece of bread, and tried to make it into a picnic table. I placed a smaller piece of bread on top of a larger piece. You can fill with your favorite fillings. It should sort of resemble a picnic table and its bench! and while its not perfect I'm pretty sure its only the perfectionist in me that is complaining.
To make the picnic blanket I used cheese and food coloring! You could use a fruit roll up if you had one, but I didn't. I chose not to use my organic fruit leather because it was a deeper read, and I wanted a brighter red. So I colored my cheese with a drop of edible food dye, also using my edible food markers
to touch up. After it dried I sliced up the piece of cheese into strips and laid them on top of a single piece of cheese in a pattern similar to a picnic blanket :)On top of the table I added cheezits (yummy food) and candy Dots
(upside to look like drinks). For the final touches I added two cute cupcake picks! What summer picnic is complete without a hot dog
? And of course we need the classic picnic basket. I used those two picks to add some extra details :)All together it came out pretty cute! And it wasn't very difficult to make at all! :)

Cube it and I wanted to share them! 
, honey and cinnamon sandwiches. I make a normal sandwich and then use the cutter to make the pieces bite sized. I also like to cut a bunch of fruit with the cutter and then we get to play with our food. We made some cute snacks with our Cube it:
for the base. Using my 
I cut some cheddar cheese circles. Then with a mini 
I cut some squares with orange and yellow bell pepper. I used a knife and cut the square diagonally to make the sun rays. The eyes are 
and the mouth is a chocolate sprinkle. Now, I must warn you. Not all chocolate sprinkles (or jimmies) are created equal. I will not say that I dug around my chocolate sprinkles looking for cute slightly curved ones that would make perfect mouths.. because who would do that? ;) For the platter below I made sure there was enough "materials" to make three Sun Crackers :)
can sand sculpt? ;)
