Edible Train Landscape
Print This Recipe
My son’s 1st train birthday party seems like so long ago now but the edible landscape idea is perfect for back to school and it makes eating healthy snacks fun for your kiddos all year long. The train-scape comes together quickly and you can easily add “train” sandwiches {cut out with cookie cutters} or other elements of the scene. Create to your heart’s content. Depending on the age of your kids, they may even like to help create the scene before eating it!
It seems like the dessert table always steals the show at parties but edible landscapes are a visually-appealing way to present the healthier fare to your guests and they are also simple enough to make for after-school snacks or for any other occasion.
