Nadia cut hearts out of modeling chocolate and used them as feet.
These cupcakes can be topped with modeling chocolate or frosting snowballs.
Kathie Kunz and her granddaughters had fun making cupcakes together. They dipped Whoppers in white chocolate to create their snowballs. I love that idea!
This cake could be creepy looking or cute, you decide how you want to make it.
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.
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 looks a lot like the big spiders that live in my basement. Great job Emilia.
Mika created her giant spider cake for her son's birthday. She covered her spider with chocolate frosting, and got a nice furry effect. She also used white and chocolate frosting to create the eyes.
She covered her table in a spider web table cloth and served up her giant arachnid to party guests.
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.
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.
Lynette, sent a big tray of homemade Chocolate Cherry Bombs to her church group's "Chocolate Covered Net" night party. What a fun party that must have been!
Celebrate Flag Day, 4th of July, Memorial Day or any patriotic occasion with Kathy's cherry bombs. She drizzled some red and blue chocolate over her cake balls to make them pop!
Sylvia stuffed her carrots with
scrambled eggs and sausage. Being the carrots aren't very big, they didn't hold much of chunky filling but she said they made a great breakfast. Her kids thought they
were cute, even though they weren't sure about the orange color at first. Once they tasted them and realized they just tasted like croissants they really enjoyed them!
Rady from Byby's Kingdom made these really fun looking carrots. I like how they have a striped look. She filled here carrots with egg salad and dill. You can get her recipe here.
Mary served this basket full of carrot crescents to her family who gobbled them up immediately. Mary used Pillsbury Crescent Rolls which she just wrapped around the cream horn form before coloring orange. It's a bit simpler than cutting dough strips and has a smoother look to the carrots.
Mary told me this recipe may become a new Easter tradition with her family!
Trish from Sweetology shared her carrots with her Facebook friends and said, "I whipped these up so easy from store bought crescent rolls and home made yummy ham salad..they will be a hit! CUTE."

baked them and then just cut them in half to fill them with the salad.
Jenn served up this bushel of carrots at her Easter celebration and said they were a huge hit!
Mandy was sure busy in the kitchen creating this amazing platter full of chicken salad filled carrot crescents topped with curly parsley.
Jo and Sue created cones out of tin foil to make their carrots which they filled with salmon that their dad had smoked, mixed with cream cheese. You should visit their blog to see more of their festive Easter treats. They really went all out for this holiday.
I am in awe of this gorgeous display that Ekaterina of My Candy Kitchen created with her carrot crescents. Just beautiful! She used pizza dough to make her carrots and covered her cream horn forms with parchment paper for easy removal. Visit her blog to see her tutorial.
Dina from Dynamic World Of served these for Easter to her family in Hungary. She used puff pastry which worked out great. To make her orange coloring, she added red coloring to an egg yolk - brilliant!
I just love this image of the carrots created by Ilina from Culinary Colours of My World. She used pizza dough to create her carrots, filled them with a traditional Bulgarian salad and added sprigs of lettuce for the greens. Stop by her blog to see all the amazing pictures she took of her carrots.
Mary made Crescent Roll Carrots for her Mad Hatter Tea party and served them alongside other festive food featuring bright colors. Looks like a great party.

Another beautiful tray of Crescent Roll Carrots, but this time these are sweet! Kelsey, sprinkled some sugar on the outside of her carrots and filled with a cream cheese, whipped cream and pineapple filing and used real carrot tops for her greens.
Alyssa created this beautiful plate filled with crescent roll carrots for Easter. She used parsley for her greens and filled her carrots with chicken salad.
Laura used tin foil instead of cream horn forms to make her carrots and they really have great shape. She filled her carrots with chicken salad and used parsley for the greens. Her family loved them.
Jeanne made her crescent roll carrots for a Hobbit themed birthday party. I love to hear how people use my recipes in clever ways. It's fun to know that these carrots aren't just for Easter.
This picture, taken by Polish blogger, Domi from Domi in the Kitchen (“Domi w kuchni”)
is simply stunning. I love all the colors she used and the way she arranged her crescent carrots which are made with homemade dough. This could be a magazine cover shot.

Jen made a sweet version of these crescent roll carrots for her family's Easter brunch. Her cream horn carrots were made from puff pastry and were filled with fresh whipped cream and had mint leaves for the carrot greens. They turned out great.
Either people love or hate this cheese ball. I've seen it Pinned often with varying comments. It has become one of my most viewed recipes and I am always happy to hear from readers who were inspired by this recipe.
Sandy from Pure Abundance had the perfect occasion to use this cheese ball. Her aunt graduated from esthetician's school and her cousin created this cheese ball face mask for the party. She used sour cream tinted green instead of guacamole. It turned out great and the party guests all loved it.
