How to Make a Truck Cake!

For Dallin's 2nd Birthday, I made a big rig truck cake!

I used three bread pans.


One regular size for the bed of the truck (the white part)


And two small ones for the front of the truck (in red)

I cut one of the small ones in half lengthwise and placed it on top of the other small bread pan.

Then I used food coloring to dye Betty Crocker cream cheese frosting red. My recipe? The vanilla cake from the Betty Crocker cookbook. Very easy!


Then, the fun part, accessories! Skittles for the headlights and taillights, mini doughnuts for the wheels, and dots and candles for the thingamajings on top!



The final touch. . . the writing! I didn't have any fancy shmancy cake decorating tips, so I just used a plastic bag, put frosting inside, and cut a small hole. It worked! At least you can tell what I wrote :).


I would have LOVED to decorate the pan to look like a road, but time/supplies would not permit me. I think that would be awesome though!
All the hard work paid off when I showed the cake to Dally boy! He LOVED it!

Easy Chicken Pot Pie

By Emily

*This is SO good and SO easy! Everyone who tastes it is always amazed at how simple it is!

Filling: 1 large or 2 small chicken breasts
1 can cream of chicken soup
2 cups frozen veggies
½ cup milk
¼ tsp garlic mix seasoning (optional)
2 pie crusts
Simmer chicken in a small amount of water and dice into ½ inch cubes. Stir all filling ingredients together. Pour into unbaked pie shell and cover with other pie shell. Bake at 350 for 30 minutes or until golden and heated through. (It always takes about an hour for me)

Pie Crust:
2 cups flour
½ tsp salt
¾ cup shortening
½ cup very cold water
Directions: mix flour and salt. Cut in shortening with a fork until well blended. Add water. Cut dough in half and use to roll out one pie crust. For the bottom crust, after rolling and placing in pan, poke several holes in the bottom with a fork (between 15 to 20 times)
