Stuff… for People

So I’m here in sunny Lancaster, California doing biology surveys.  In between babysitting construction workers and spending the evenings in my hotel room, I’ve had a lot of time to think of ideas for my next Sculpey poly clay adventures.  I want to do a series of teeny tiny junk food snack cakes.  I already have some Hostess chocolate cupcake charms in my Esty shop and I want to do more!

So I must admit that during my entire four years of high school I lived on fatty snacky cakes from the vending machine.  By the way, a packet of Ding Dongs, Funyuns and a bottle of Coca-Cola still sounds pretty yummy… geez, I really need to get some dinner. Anyway, I’m thinking of making radioactive pink Sno Balls, yellowy vanilla-ish Zingers, mushy gooey Suzy Qs, and of course, the never-say-die Twinkie!

As a good scientist, I was doing research (yeah, I do research on my charm projects, so I’m a geek) on my iPhone while sitting in the truck and came across a bunch of uses… er, recipes? for Hostess snack cakes.  So for all you gourmet foodies and DIYers in craft land, did you know you can make an x-mas ornament from a Sno Ball with some licorice, gumdrops and a tub of white frosting?

How about Twinkie sushi?  I have a feeling that leathery fruit-roll ups don’t quite match well with the spongy creamyness of a Twinkie…

Even better!  Impress (or drive away) your relatives at the next family reunion with Patriotic Twinkie Pie!  I think it would be too tacky to serve this at a 4th of July picnic but that’s just my opinon.

Until later!
