...I do 
.. The scary saga of wrath of disturbed mummies !!...Phewws.. that scared the hell out of me....but was still fun. :) |
| I love playing with different picture backgrounds. |
Isn't it strange that in India ,a few kids, call their mothers,"Mummy"? ....Actually I did :| until I read about this later at school .
Mummy is actually derived from the Persian word,"Mum" which means an embalmed body/corpse .An ancient tradition of covering a dead body with strips of clothes and chemicals before burial which was believed to be done for their eternal rest . Ancient traditions and rituals (as shown in History channels ) were quite weirdly interesting & at times spooky too .Isn't it??
However, my mummy treats are sweet souls though they do look spooky by outside .. (Well all credit for that goes to me : P) ...but they are very sweet by inside.....don't believe me ,then check out the recipe :
Mummy returns Trick or treat
Ingredients
Chocolate finger sticks - 4 nos.
White cake fondant , Lemon size - 1-2 nos.
Black or dark food color
Paper cuts for decoration only
Method:
- Take the fondant , add a drop of shortening or oil and knead with fingers until they become soft and of workable consistency.
- Lightly dust the work surface for rolling the fondant .
- Using rolling pin, roll them into a circle or oval shape or any form where you can cut them into thin strips.
- Using a knife (cutlery) , cut them into many strips.
- Take a chocolate finger stick and roll them with one by one strip until you cover completely and it looks like a mummy .
- Put two dots as eyes on them using black food color.
- Place them on coffin shaped paper cut-outs .
- Make another rectangle shape cut out with word "RIP" and glue them to toothpicks and decorate it further as shown in the picture.
- That's it mummies with a sweet revenge returns to entertain your palate :).
Note:
It was kind of a spooky coincidence as I was trying to make coffin cuts outs of paper, I didn't find my scale to draw them but then I came across a flyer with four rectangles just the size of mummies I made and I cut them into coffin shapes later and then I came across another one which was a Citi card ad. but had the caption that somehow fit my theme which I used as the background for my mummies ,it said,"Because the journey is just as important as the destination"...for a minute it gave me goosebumps :) ...wondering if someone invisible helped me ...like a puzzle everything fell into the right place ...Believe it or not !!
So, what do you think is it a trick or a treat ? Hope you'll like it.
