Yummy frosting!

For those of you who love coffee, and also love cream cheese frosting, allow me to introduce you to coffee cream cheese frosting!! I needed to color the frosting I was using for a project, but didn't want to use food coloring or chocolate. Using a mortar & pestle, I ground up some instant coffee granules to a powder, then blended it with the cream cheese frosting. Oh Em Geeeee!! I think I may now be "in a relationship" with said frosting. :o


And if you were wondering what kind of "project" would require the use of frosting (though I'm certain some of you have some ideas popping into your minds ;) ), I had to come up with a display showing the layers of skin & its components. Not wanting to do the ho-hum large poster board kind of display, I decided to make my project edible. I made a batch of blondie brownies (with dried cranberries inside), then frosted the uncut brownie "slab" with plain cream cheese frosting. I used the coffee to color the various tones of the dermis & epidermis, various colors of Twizzlers for the nerves, veins, arteries, & hair, golden raisins for the "adipose tissue" layer, and dried cranberries & fruit snacks for glands & receptors. LOL, I wish I could post a picture of it but don't know how I can do that from my phone! :p

That is one of the most creative imaginative ideas for that type of project I have ever heard of.

I could get down with that!

:bow: :nerd:

Thanks for posting that for me, Buttercup! IMGreat, when the instructor gave the assignment, she said we could use whatever materials we wanted, as long as it was a clear depiction of the layers of the skin; I knew I had to do something edible. Besides, if I was going to spend money on this project, I wanted to get something more out of it than a huge piece of posterboard that would be resigned to the basement! It was quite delish! :D

Did you wear a zombie outfit when you ate it? :p
