Well, I posted the super-cute cupcakes I made for Girl1 to take to school for her b-day treat and weren’t they just “aww, shucks“?

Well, not to let Girl2 go without special mom-baked treats, I made these puppies for the preschool Hallowe’en party.

Now, look closely…

What are they?

No, not ghosts…

…think pharaoh

…think dead pharaoh…

They’re mummies!

Now, granted, this was my inspiration:

And he has rather more icing on him than mine do, but I only had one bottle of cookie icing and I was afraid of running out. Plus I didn’t have time to pre-make scary yellow royal icing eyes, and I couldn’t find any pre-made candy eyes, so we had to use plastic googly-eyes and just warned everyone not to eat the eyes!

Anyway, they were a hit with the kiddles, and Girl2 and her new bestest preschool friend enjoyed licking off all the icing, playing with the eyes and abandoning the gingerbread man beneath. Such is life!
