Lunches around here have been pretty fun lately because my son and I have been using our Christmas and winter cookie cutters to make edible art scenes. This is one instance where I think playing with food is perfectly acceptable! It is especially perfect for a cold winter day when you need an indoor project.

I still remember the first time that I tried a Cookies and Cream caramel apple at Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory so I decided to make them at home. They are super easy to make. Simply swirl the apples in melted white chocolate and then dip them in crushed Oreo cookies.

Squash and pumpkins make eye-catching soup tureens, adding a rustic touch to the tabletop that can’t be recreated with any store-bought ceramic bowls. You can use the squash and soup of your choice. I found that lentil soup and acorn squash pair nicely together for a hearty, warming and healthy meal that is perfect for chilly days.

Sorbet is a lower fat alternative to ice cream and makes a refreshing dessert or snack. It is very simple to make – all you need is fruit juice and a little bit of sugar. The nice thing about making it at home is that you can control the amount of sugar added.

The ever-popular Halloween candy presented the perfect inspiration for a fondant layer cake. I knew that I could use basic food coloring and get perfectly colored candy corn layers. This time I wanted to see if I could achieve a similar result with natural dyes.
