Gir cake



I just cut the shape out of a 13x9 cake. Iced it with green icing, used black for the legs, arm, ears, stitches, eyeballs, and nose(by the way I know the legs look horrible, my baby started crying and I was in a hurry), and white icing for the eyes. I used a real zipper for the zipper but I didn't account for the icing to show through. I'm not sure what could be used instead. I used the sour tape candy for the tongue. I think a stick of bubblegum would work also.

This is the picture I used to reference

Frozen Lemonade Pie (Only 3 Ingredients!)

This is a very refreshing pie for those hot summer months (or with the weather we are having here, hot Spring months!). You can vary the recipe and use different flavors of frozen juice. I've tried it with limeade and it is good. I think orange juice would work too.

Ingredients:
One regular size tub of whipped topping (like Coolwhip)
One can of frozen lemonade (or try it with a different frozen citrus drink)
One graham cracker crust




Allow the juice and the whipped topping to defrost on the counter for a few minutes so that it's easier to work with. Once the juice is melted and the topping is soft, mix into a large bowl. Stir or whisk until well blended.



Using a rubber spatula, transfer filling into your crust. Then put the plastic top from the crust onto the pie and bend the sides of the pan up to secure it.



Freeze for about 3-4 hours or until firm. Cut and serve immediately. Freeze any left overs.

Enjoy!
