That's what Ava calls them, anyhow.

Melted Crayon Cakes: How-to

This is a project for the kids, y'all.

It kept Ava busy for a good 30 mins!

Wahooo!

Preheat oven at 250 degrees.

Gather up all your kids' mangy busted-up crayons.

Have your kiddos peel off any papers remaining on the pieces of crayon.

{Ava hard at work}

Once disrobed, let the kids arrange

the crayon pieces in a muffin tin.

Be sure to fill each section at least 3/4 full.

Ava had enough gusto to fill 3 muffin cups!

.....And then she quit on me.

Bake in the oven for 15- 20 mins.

....until melt-y looking.

Remove muffin tin from the oven and let cool.

Once cooled, crayon cakes should easily release from the pan.

Check these babies out!!

Psychedelic or what?



Important sidenote:

Despite what the post title might suggest, these cute cakes
are definitely NOT edible :]

Unless you're one of those 'My Strange Addiction' people....
In which case,

num nums!

New Hobby Alert!!

Bracelets. I was channel surfing a few weeks back when I happened to stumble upon the 'Tori and Dean Inn Love' reality show. I'm not much of a fan but that's neither here or there... What I noticed was these charming little bracelets Tori was wearing with her kids names on them. I immediatly decided this was something I must have and therefor set to work planning how I was going to execute this idea. Before the day was done, I had whipped myself up a couple of cute bracelets that were virtually one-of-a-kind and undeniably fashion forward! Oh, and it doesn't stop there. Even Kirsten is rockin' an uber-trendy MOWGLI bracelet.
