Subject: WBW Food Ideas
> I compiled all of the ideas together into one post. Thanks to all of you
> that shared these wonderful ideas!
>
> From Kathleen Bruce : <[log in to unmask]>
> Two round cakes joined lightly (think cleavage but not smooshed) in the
> center and decorated with whatever will make a nipple in the center (I
> favor the extra large chocolate kisses!) and "congratulations" printed
> on the tops or bottoms of the two cakes. You can have lots of fun with
the
> frosting--making bikini tops or open bra flaps or whatever.
>
> From : Terriann Shell <[log in to unmask]>
> They can be made out of chocolate using a hersey kiss (of any size) mold.
> We have made breast cakes using a Pampered Chef mixing bowl (either the
> small or large one), or the doll cake mold from a cake decorating store
> (they come in large and small sizes).
>
> From : Nancy Holtzman <[log in to unmask]>
> Just make a batch of cupcakes, and purchase a
> can of vanilla ready made frosting, and a bottle of chocolate syrup. Use
> the syrup to make a variety of "skin tones" for the cupcakes (you might
need
> yellow food coloring as well), top with a red, pink or orange gumdrop, and
> present them on a platter in groups of two.
> There is a picture on my home page: http://www.great-beginnings.com
>
> My breast cake (even better than the cupcakes) was featured on the WABA
> page, you can see the cake at http://www.waba.org.br/wbw97/usa.htm

> From : Phyllis Adamson <[log in to unmask]>
> In the specialty cake aisle you'll find a cake pan designed for a
> traditional Southern lady doll wearing a very wide full length skirt.
Throw
> out the doll and the pan becomes your breast cake pan. It holds an entire
> two layer cake mix and has a tube in the middle to conduct heat to the
> middle and ensure that the cake bakes correctly. Of course you have to
make
> one vanilla and one chocolate (remember the cartoon book?) and frost with
> your favorite skin tone and nipple color. Talk about EEEE engorgement!
>
> From : Kathy Parkes <[log in to unmask]>
> Along the same line, I've used the gold and silver wrapped chocolate
kisses
> candy as "awards" for World Breastfeeding Week (mainly for LCs, PCs, etc.)
> They're called the Silver and Gold Nipple Awards!
>
> From : Johanna Berger <[log in to unmask]>
> You can start out with yellow, white and/or chocolate cake batter (maybe
> even a spice cake for a nice brown). Make the cupcakes. Frost with
> whatever color/flavor frosting you want (chocolate, white, pink). Put a
> gumdrop on for the nipple :-) If you'd like to make the areola, you can
> tint the frosting a little darker and frost it in the middle, then put
> the gumdrop on. If the gumdrops aren't the right color, try a jelly bean
> up-ended in the frosting.
>
> From : Rachel e-mail <[log in to unmask]>
> We have had great success with breast sweet rolls. A sweet yeast-rising
> dough, with or without raisins, is rolled into breast shapes. Here your
> creativity can really shine, no two identical, etc. Form nipples by
> hand and watch what happens in the oven, or cheat and use a half a
> maraschino cherry (silicone wannabe version).
>

> From : Carol Brussel IBCLC <[log in to unmask]>
> I make what I call golden breast candies. you take some
> powdered sugar and mix it with brandy (I use fruit brandy I make myself)
> that
> has been simmered with a spoonful of peppercorns for a few minutes. you
mix
> the liquid with enough powdered sugar to be stiff, roll it out, and cut it
> into little bitty circles. then I put a golden dragee on each one, and a
> little bit of golden powder (from the cake supply store). they can be
quite
> spicy if you let the pepper steep a long time.
