Rice Crispie Treat Christmas Train

Molded into a train pan set and decorated with icing. This looks great but I could see the use of so much more candy. I would also display these in a line with licorice connecting each car. Would make a great display for a party and the kids will get a complete kick out of it.

Wilton Gingerbread Pan Cake

Cut brown pipe cleaners and tie together to make antlers and attach with hot glue. Hot glue googly eyes and attach a nose. Great for party favors and could be used as name plates.
