Recipe: Berry Cute Santas
As you may have noticed our sidebar recipe finder is missing. I had a problem with blogger. So Luna and I decided to move to Wordpress. As soon as it is up we will give you all the new addy. Till then I will still post here. So to find a recipe you will have to look in the archives for recipes. SORRY ABOUT THAT.
INGREDIENTS
- 1 loaf (10-3/4 ounces) frozen pound cake, thawed
- 1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
- 12 red-frilled toothpicks
- 12 large strawberries, cut in half widthwise
- 24 miniature semisweet chocolate chips
- 12 fudge-covered cream-filled chocolate sandwich cookies
DIRECTIONS
Cut twelve 1-in. cubes from pound cake (save remaining cake for another use). For icing, in a small mixing bowl, beat cream cheese and confectioners' sugar on high speed until light and fluffy. Cut a small hole in the corner of a pastry or plastic bag; insert a #18 star tip. Fill bag with icing.
For each Santa, thread a frilled toothpick through a pointed strawberry half, then through a cake cube and a second strawberry half. For eyes, place a dab of icing on the bottoms of two chocolate chips; press onto cake. Pipe icing to form beards and to add fur brims below strawberry hats. Place each Santa on a cookie; serve immediately. Yield: 1 dozen.

This is just too cute.
I'm planning on making a gingerbread house for my partners boys this year and it's a shame that strawberries goes bad so quickly, otherwise these would be neat as a compliment :D
