These are super tiny, but the perfect size for an ice cream cone for my kids. In fact, I don't mind i they have a second.
I
had a hard time trying to find these a few years ago, when I first saw
these mini cones at a restaurant, but luckily, our local grocery store
now carries these mini ice cream cones.
I
didn't think my other pictures showed a good size comparison, so I
decided to take a pic next to a blueberry and grapefruit. Aren't they
tiny?

#645 - Homemade Spiderman Cake
My boys are all about Spiderman lately, or more like for the past 6 months. For example, when I put Parker down to bed he requests the Spiderman theme song, Iron Man (the Black Sabbath song), or the A-Team theme song, not Twinkle Twinkle Little Star.
Then Oster requested a Spiderman birthday cake. I googled, youtubed, pinterest"ed" ideas, but all of them involved lots of red food dye. I'm not opposed to red food dye, but I also didn't want to spend hours mixing to get the red color and really, who wants to ingest all those chemicals.
So, I decided to go a little more natural with strawberries. It actually turned out pretty good. In fact, I think it looked even better. I made this graham cracker cake I saw on pinterest (not my favorite to be honest, but everyone else liked it.) Then topped it with melted chocolate spiderwebs.

I made half of it with chocolate graham crackers (that was better than regular graham crackers).
As I was cutting the strawberries I noticed they looked like Spiderman masks/faces. Oster loved it!
In fact he loved it so much, he wanted the whole mouth of the Spiderman mask. And I just saw the new Spiderman movie...sort of loved it! My favorite so far.
