Paw Patrol Cupcakes Made for Charity

The charity Birthday Dreams (bring birthday's to homeless kids) that I bake for asked for a Paw Patrol design. I did some searching and a thought this would be a fun design to make paw prints, bones and a 4 for the age of the homeless child. 

 

 

What you Need:
Modeling Chocolate in White and Blue (See Recipe at the bottom)
Circle cookie Cutter
Bone Mold or Cookie Cuter
Number Cookie Cutter  
Frosted Cupcakes

I made blue modeling chocolate and then rolled it out and cut out circles (I used the side of my cutter that had the fancy scallops). I rolled out some white modeling chocolate to make the bones, numbers and the paw details. For the Paws I used 3 small circles and for the pad of the paw I used a medium circle and formed into a rounded edge triangle. I then put the toppers on top of frosted cupcakes.

Modeling Chocolate

12oz Candy Melts

1/4 Cup light corn Syrup

Melt your Candy Melts in microwave (mine takes about 2 minutes). Stir them to become smooth and add the corn syrup.  It will become thick and form a ball.  Wrap in plastic wrap and let it sit out and dry.  Takes a few hours or over night is best. (Alexis note: I found to roll this out use a little powder sugar (like you would do with flour), also you have to kneed it a little like you would dough to make it easy to roll out).

Just one of those days!

Yesterday at work I was just done, I don't know what happen to me but I was pooped I had it on my mission to work out. But for some reason I couldn't get my rear (literally) in gear. Rick had a early night from work and called and offered to pick up dinner, I was so in a bummer mood I couldn't even get excited that he offered. I won't mention that it was fast food but I at least could veg for a little while and even went to bed early :).

The only cooking I did was for the dog. I found that last time in my hast I put the biscuits in the container too quickly and the moist caused mold ... ugh! Yup had to throw them all out, so I had to make more. I found yet another recipe to try out! And I let them sit out all night to make sure they were dried out and ok to store.

Peanut Butter Dog Treat

by Dog Paw Print

1 cup (250 ml) dry oats
2 cups (500 ml) whole wheat flour
1 cup (250 ml) all natural peanut butter
1 cup (250 ml) water
¼ cup (60 ml) canola oil
1 egg, beaten (or Egg Beaters, equiv. to 1 egg)

Preheat oven to 350° (180°). Mix all of the ingredients together in a fairly large bowl. Sprinkle a bit of flour over a flat, clean surface, and roll the mixture out over the flour to about ¾" (2 mm) thickness. Use dog-themed cookie cutters or simply cut into rectangles and place on a lightly greased cookie sheet. Cook first for 20 minutes on one side and then flip the treats over and cook an additional 20 minutes. Remove to cooling racks and let dry out thoroughly. Dog biscuits are ready after about two hours.
