From realistic The Beasts Enchanted Gumdrop Roses to whimsical Frozen Francis Far-from-Feminine Ladybugs, youre sure to find something appealing to both eye and palette.

I dont have children but I felt like a kid as I stood in my kitchen shaping little Canine Crunchies. Though the recipe makes 10-12 bones, I only ended up with 8 to show for my efforts. This probably had something to do with my desire to sample a few to make sure they were up to my strict standards. I couldnt help it. They were good!

These are delicious and fun recipes. They are well thought out though some of them could do with better instructions. By trying to be simplistic, a few recipes sometimes leave out what may seem like obvious steps or are not as descriptive as they could be.

4.0 out of 5 stars Lovely Ideas, February 24, 2004

I bought this book expecting something different then when it was. I had bought a Disney party planner a few years back and most of the recipes in this book are close to or are exactly the same as the one in the other book. The ideas are cute, and would be great for little kid's birthday parties. The recipes are also in a wierd order, they group them together by movie, and not by type, i.e. the cakes are all in different places depending on what movie it's themed from. Some of the ideas may be to complicated if children want to help, but everything is managable. The Cinderella and Beauty and the Beast ideas are perfect for young girl parties, and The Lion King ideas are adorable. On the other hand the photographs are lovely.
