Edible Holiday Decorations: Ornament Sandwiches!

Posted by on December 13, 2013 in Food, Recipes | 19 Comments

Holiday season, Let’s Lunch-style, means it’s time for a festive, new topic: edible decorations.

I wasn’t sure how to keep it sandwich-themed, but then, voilà . . . ornament sammies!

I made the ornaments and baguette out of homemade maple-flavored marshmallow fondant, and MacGyvered the details using edible silver dust, mini candy canes and colored sprinkles.

This week’s Sandwich Surprisees were Coal Eye:

and Three Stack:

“Glad it wasn’t a tuna melt,” said Coal Eye.

“We hate melts,” said Three Stack.

Then they noticed me eyeing their dark-chocolate stick arms and general maple marshmallowy deliciousness, and high-tailed it back home near a miniature skating rink in Holiday Village.

Let’s Lunch is a worldwide group of warm and fuzzy food bloggers that meets monthly for a virtual lunch date via Twitter (#letslunch) and shares posts on a new topic each time.
