Edible Crafts"Cupcake Bouquet"Here's a gift mom is sure to love. Edible crafts are fabulous gift ideas. Not only does it say, "I Love You," but after she has taken some pictures of this gorgeous bouquet--she can enjoy eating it! Yummy!! Ingredients You Need for this Edible Craft:  Cake mix of your choice Pink or white frosting Bag of starburst candy Flower shape cookie cutters Clay flower pot or flower pot of your choice Bamboo skewers One bag of shredded gift paper Roll of life-saver candyDirections: 1. Make cupcakes (as directed on the box) and bake in colored paper liners. When cool, frost with white or pink frosting. 2. To make the flower that will go on top of the cupcake, take 3 or 4 same-colored starbursts and line them up side-by-side between 2 sheets of waxed paper. Use a rolling pin to roll out the candy until you have a circle large enough to cut out 1 flower with a cookie cutter. Repeat this until you have enough flowers to put 1 on each cupcake. 3. Put 1 flower on top of each cupcake, using a dab of frosting as glue, put a life saver candy on top of each flower. Set aside. 4. Wash and dry a flower pot of your choice (one you have purchased or a 6" clay flower pot that you have hand painted or decorated). Put floral foam inside the pot (to about 1" from the top). 5. Take bamboo skewers and stick them into the foam, 1 in the center and the others in a circle around it. Push 1 cupcake onto each skewer until the cupcake rests on the floral foam. 6. Stuff shreddred gift paper around the cupcakes, leaving some hanging over the edges. 7. Be amazed at the smile on mom's face when she receives this wonderful gift!!!

Meanwhile, cut squash in half, scoop out seeds, and place in a baking dish, skin down. Melt a generous pat of butter, brush it over the squash, then bake (with potatoes) for about 40 minutes, or until tender. 3. When potatoes are cool enough to handle, cut tops off and carefully scoop out flesh, saving the skin shells. Scoop squash flesh from skin and mash it with potato flesh, remaining butter, mustard, Parmesan, and milk. Season with salt and pepper. Stuff potato shells with mixture, then top with grated Cheddar. 4. Place potatoes on a cookie sheet and broil for a few minutes until cheese bubbles. 5. When potatoes cool again, make a nose and whiskers with a grape tomato held in place with a toothpick and chives tucked behind. Finish decorating with raisin eyes, radish ears, and scallion tails.
