Reader's Gallery

My goal here at Hungry Happenings is to share tutorials for projects that you can replicate at home. I love seeing pictures of your creations that are either recreations of my recipes or that are inspired by my recipes. Below are pictures shared by readers. If you'd like to share a picture with me here at Hungry Happenings, please send a jpeg to beth@hungryhappenings.com If you posted your picture on your blog, I'd be happy to share a link to that post, so please include the link as well. If you've posted a link in the comments section of this blog already but I've not included your picture here, please send me a gentle reminder (my memory isn't what it used to be and I tried to find all these pictures just based on memory!)

If your picture has been featured here, you can grab a button to display on your blog.

Chocolate Raspberry Mousse Cake

spacer
Three layers of deliciousness: a flourless chocolate cake, chocolate mousse, and raspberry mousse.


spacer
Ани from Вкуснотека prepared an amazing looking Valentine's Day meal including a beautiful Raspberry Chocolate Mousse Cake. She made her cake round and added a pretty heart of fresh raspberries as a decoration. It is picture perfect.

Chicken Parmesan Hearts

spacer
I breaded and baked my heart shaped chicken then topped it with heart shaped mozzarella cheese and marinara sauce.

spacer
Ekaterina shares her take on these heart shaped chicken breasts on her blog, My Candy Kitchen. Her fried chicken breasts look very tasty. I do love fried chicken!


Warm Fuzzy Cake Balls

spacer
My edible warm fuzzies created with coconut covered cake balls.

spacer
Melissa added her warm fuzzies to cupcakes and used the printable wrappers to finish them off nicely. She didn't have candy eyes, so she used white frosting and a tube of black decorating gel. I love her antenna made with purple and pink candy coating. So cute!

spacer
Meagan and her daughter had fun making this tray filled with warm fuzzies and she shared her experience on her blog, Create Food On a Budget. I loved her idea of having the feet made and set out on a baking sheet. Once the cake balls were dipped and rolled in coconut, she just set them on the feet and they stuck. It saves a step.

spacer
Ekaterina  from My Candy Kitchen made her warm fuzzy cake balls with homemade white chocolate and mini chocolate chip eyes. She said in Bulgaria, the coconut it shaved finer so her fuzzies are a little less fuzzy - but so cute.

Snowball Fight Cupcakes

spacer
These cupcakes can be topped with modeling chocolate or frosting snowballs.

spacer
Kathie Kunz and her granddaughters had fun making cupcakes together. They dipped Whoppers in white chocolate to create their snowballs. I love that idea!


Super Sized Cake Ball Spider

spacer
This cake could be creepy looking or cute, you decide how you want to make it.

spacer

Julee from D.I.Y. Louisville looks quite frightened by her spider cake! She hosted what looks like an amazing Halloween party for her daughter and has lots of pictures of her treats posted on her blog.

spacer

 Emilia Stanescu and her nephew created their version of this spider using pretzels for legs, Skittles for eyes, and chocolate sprinkles for fur. If you want a more realistic spider for your celebration this is it! Wow, it look a lot like the big spiders that live in my basement. Great job Emilia.

Chocolate Cherry Bombs

spacer

My first attempt at a cake ball - a combination of crumbled up baked cake and frosting, smashed together and formed into a ball then dipped in chocolate. I added a maraschino cherry to the center of each cake ball and think they made a really sweet Valentine's Day treat.

spacer

Ekaterina from My Candy Kitchen in Bulgaria made up a batch of these to serve at her son's name day celebration. Her cherry bombs look amazing as does her picture.

Crescent Dough Carrots

spacer

My Crescent Dough Carrots recipe was really a huge hit. So many readers wrote to tell me they were making these for Easter and a few shared pictures on their blogs. Sales of cream horn forms, used in the project, went up on Amazon.com (thanks to all who used the link to buy the forms, as I received a small commission on each sale.)

spacer

Risa from Restless Risa posted a few pictures of the carrots she served her family for Easter. She used frozen bread dough instead of crescents and lettuce in place of the dill. They look great. As you can see, you can really use whatever you have on hand. Most doughs will work for this recipe but just be aware that the yeast type doughs will rise once they are wrapped around the cream horn forms which makes for carrots with fun curvy shapes. To top off the carrot, anything that is green and frilly could be used - try cilantro, thyme, or even spinach leaves.

spacer

Martha from Seaside Simplicity made her carrots by spraying Duff's Orange Cake Graffiti Spray on the dough and I think they look fantastic. Martha didn't have cream horn forms so she wrapped her dough around a sugar cone as I had suggested in the comments section of the blog post, and it worked. I'm happy to know that it was a sucess.

Deviled Egg Daisy

spacer

I created these three ingredient Deviled Egg Daisies to give my readers a super quick, yet really pretty way to serve "make your own" deviled eggs.

spacer

I was thrilled when I found out that Roxanne Chan, a legend in the cooking contest circuit, liked my idea. She decided to fill her eggs and she really pumped up the ingredients by adding butternut squash to the yolks. She also dressed up the daisy display by adding frilly dill and a pretty flower. 

Chocolate Chalkboards
spacer

I create these edible chalkboards to be used as end of the year thank you gifts for teachers. I made tiny edible white chocolate chalk and used it to write on chocolate bars. I've since seen where people are scratching (writing on) the chocolate bars with a toothpick and rubbing on powdered sugar to achieve a similar result.


spacer

This chalkboard was featured on Cute As a Fox. She created several different boards to use as teacher's gifts.


Spa Party Appetizer

spacer

Either people love or hate this cheese ball. I've seen it Pinned often with varying comments. I was happy to hear from several readers who were inspired by this recipe.

spacer

Jo and Sue from the blog of the same name, made a version of my Spa Face Cheese Ball for a friend's party. They made the cheese ball using my recipe with 1 tablespoon of taco seasoning. Then, because they were needing to make this several hours before the party and didn't want the guacamole to turn brown, they used sour cream tinted with green food coloring instead. I think it is a great option and love how the woman's facial mask has a cool glow. They also used Swiss cheese in place of the Mozzarella for the towel wrap. I think it looks just as good and it may be easier for many of you to find, just be sure the get long slices, not square ones. To see more pictures of their creation click here.

spacer

For Halloween Jo and Sue took inspiration from my idea and made this amazing Medusa Cheese Ball complete with breadstick snakes. I was really blown away by their creativity here.
spacer

Cheryl of Liddy B. and Me created this spa party cheese ball without the help of a mask. She molded her cheese ball by hand then scooped some out to create indentations for the eyes and used that cheese to mold a nose. It looks great. I particularly like her nose. In order to get her cheese ball to look pink, she added salsa. It added the right color and a flavor twist. Cheryl posted a tutorial on her blog so you can see just how she did this recipe. 

Marshmallow Sea Creatures

spacer

I found a creative use for those plastic molds that are used at the beach to make sand castles and shapes. I melted some store bought marshmallows and poured them into the molds to create a big goldfish and an octopus. This is a super easy project to do.

spacer spacer

Cari at Car(ing) Mommy used this idea to make marshmallow sea creatures to add to birthday cakes. What a simple way to decorate a great looking cake.
