I gonna need to see a full list of ingredients, and know their carbon mileage, before I can answer this.

The process is the goal.

Adorable, and impressive. I barely get it together for my kids' actual bithdays, much less adorable bear cakes for half-birthdays.

it is always fun to make something like that. then kind of macabe to cut it up and eat it. my older boy is very sensitive. he almost feels bad. my 5 year old would be happy to chop off the feet and eat them. i worry for that boy.

Yeah - watch out for the ones that poke out the eyes first.

You know chefs can be female...and doctors, too. And there are male nurses and teachers nowadays. Silly girl living in the dark ages...

haha, zoom it wasn't so much about the male/female thing. I tend to overthink things a lot, and my train of thought was something like: "aww CUTE! It's wearing an apron. Must be a chef. Wait, it has earrings. Aren't chefs not allowed to wear earrings in the kitchen? What if they fell in someone's food? What if the person choked? I wonder if the chef would give the heimlich or would it be the waiter? Probably the waiter since the chef would have no idea his/her earring caused someone to choke. Would the chef get in trouble for killing someone with an earring? I wonder if "death by earring" is grounds for plausible deniability?" and so on... Roll eyes
