Sometimes, my miniature food projects don’t turn out quite the way I planned. I’m working on a new tutorial book right now, and it’s all about carnival foods. One of the projects is a multi-colored snow cone, and let’s just say things took a turn for the silly.
My first attempt resulted in shaved ice that was too opaque, but I was hoping that I wouldn’t have to start over from scratch and could instead remove the ice from the snow cone base and redo it from there.
I managed to peel the “ice” off, and lo and behold, it looked like a little clown wig.
Which then left me no choice other than to do this:
My second attempt resulted in a much better snow cone, but I’d say the diversion was well worth it. 😉 Receive an email once the new carnival foods book is available by signing up here.

At least the snow cone that didn’t work out turned into something else! And yum-I see cake cones! I prefer eating them to waffle cones in real life so I’ll be curious to see how you made them 🙂

😉 Yeah, at least the mouse doesn’t have to worry about her Halloween costume this year.
I’m excited about the new book, which should be done in a week. It’s making me very impatient for summer, too!

That circus mouse was adorable though. At least you were able to recycle that first snow cone.

It definitely introduced a little silliness into my day, which is always a worthwhile diversion. 😉

It makes a perfect clown wig. I think I see a delicious little funnel cake in the picture. Mmmm.

All I need it a little clown nose. 😉 And yes–funnel cakes galore! If only they were edible…

Glad you got a good laugh out of my snow cone-mousy mishap! 😉
