Muffin Tin Monday - Little Bunny Foo Foo

Little Bunny Foo Foo,

Hopping through the forest

Scooping up the field mice

And boppin' 'em on the head

Down came the Good Fairy and she said...

"Little Bunny Foo Foo,

I don't want to see you

Scooping up the field mice

And boppin' 'em on the head.

I'll give you three chances,

And if you don't behave

I'll turn you into a goon!"

(repeat, day 2)

(repeat, day 3)

 That Little Bunny Foo Foo just did not take the Good Fairy seriously!!

Do we all remember what happened next? Naughty Bunny Foo Foo was turned into a GOON!

Moral of the story? Hare today, goon tomorrow.



I've used this Lunch Punch fairy princess sandwich press once before and said it reminded me of this nursery rhyme. And I just couldn't get it out of my head. So I had to do a full blown theme with it. :)

Top row:

• the forest (steamed broccoli & cheese flowers)
• fairy floss (otherwise known as cotton candy)
• the GOON! (peeled kiwi fruit, sugar icing eyes, pretzel sticks, fruit leather tongue)

Bottom row:

• field mice (strawberries, mini-choc chips, sprinkles, Cheerio ears, fruit leather tails)
• the Good Fairy (Lunch Punch from the new Sand*wishes set)
• the very naughty Bunny Foo Foo (hard boiled, shaped egg with sprinkles)

The highlights...


The Goon was the hardest for me to imagine up. But once kiwi was settled on he came together so easily and he was so fun! Love this guy.



The Good Fairy (whom I also found referred to as "The Blue Fairy") is actually "fairy bread"!! A very common treat in Australia, fairy bread is simply buttered bread encrusted in "hundreds and thousands" (otherwise known as "sprinkles!"). So not healthy, but oh so whimsical and fun! Unfortunately, my daughter was just confused. She told me "mama, you forgot to put the stuffs inside!". Such a critic. ;-)

The low-lights...


The mice were inspired by Family Fun. Let me tell you, these stinkin' mice were so NOT fun to make! Oh my goodness. I never expected they'd be so tricky. But the strawberries began to ooze as soon as the surface was pierced, so the rodents looked to be bleeding about the ears. The chocolate chips were melting and popping out. The tails kept falling off. I wanted to bash the field mice over the head myself.

I'm not going to lie, this was the most time consuming muffin tin meal I've ever done, by a long shot. Total labor of love, this one was! I'm so happy with how it turned out though. :) And maybe now I can get that darn nursery rhyme out of my head! ;-)
