So this past weekend I decided to practice making and shaping Rice Krispies treats(RKT), for two reasons, I saw a cool R.K treat Easter egg and I thought my boys would love that and I need to know hold to scuplt for an important cake. Let first start by saying, before this weekend I had NEVER made a RKT, or had a home made one. I followed the directions, but it seemed way to sticky, so I added more cereal...still too sticky. I left it in the fridge thinking "oh it will be less sticky when it 'settles'! What was I thinking? When what settles? Its rice cereal, melted marshmallow and a tad bit of butter, there's nothibg to settle! So any way later that day I decided let me try to sculpt this hat. I am trying to scuplt two Navy covers, a dixie cup (the all white navy hat that the men wear ) and a Chiefs' cover. I never made it to the Chiefs' cover but I did learn that I need the treats to be a little sticky to shape and mold by hand. So I did what I could, dirty iced it and covered it with my homemade fondant. The picture is shown above, you tell me how bad it looks! Time to make it again this weekend! PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT (or at least better!) This picture was taken a day after it was made. By the way I learned my kids will eat anything because they ate the leftover RK with no hesitation.
