Blog Party #14: Kid’s Party
The only kids running around our place are our two darlings. Well, sometimes A & I behave like kids too so I figured that we could legitimately join the Kid’s Party that Stephanie is hosting for Blog Party #14. The idea is to create cocktail foods, by which Stephanie has described as finger foods, dippers or mini meals. I guess this would count as finger food as this wouldn’t make a meal for anyone whatever size it came in.
I’ve been waiting for an opportunity to use my new cookie cutters and what better way than to create puff patry animals that kids would love. After cutting out the shapes, I sprinkled smoked paprika and grated gruyere over the top before baking. Very moreish even just by themselves but if I had to suggest a drink to accompany these little bites, can I suggest something we made as kids? Cold lemonade with fresh cherries bobbing on top!
I suppose I should call them Puff Pastry Animals & Boys but as boys can sometimes be little animals too, I’ve just lumped them together. Is that bad?

Very nice. Whimsical but sophisticated.
And your kitties are completely adorable (and beautiful).

Nothing bad about it – little boys can sometimes be more monsterish than the animals of your cookie cutters! These look fantastic, and I think would be a great fingerfood for any sort of party!
