Homemade Klondike-y Bars | Mind Over Batter So… Has it been hot enough out there for you? Did you feel Mother Nature’s dragon breath singeing your leg stubble? You had leg stubble, don’t lie to me. You were totally in a hurry during the heat wave one morning and forgot to shave your legs. Why else were you sporting a maxi dress in that oppressive heat? So you were hot and you were grumpy – Like a bear that got one of its paws caught in one of those inhuman snappy metal trap things. Like that. Grr… I feel you… It happened to me… I can relate. But wait – I can help! For three days straight I couldn’t stop singing the Klondike bar jingle. Now if something were to attach itself to my brain with such fervor, wouldn’t it be worth exploring a little? So I made you Klondike bars…To cool you off…To do a lil’ somethin’ somethin’ nice for you. And to stop the song from playing in my head over and over again. Oh, mama… Look at this.. No need to thank me. Love, Me

I made a sea themed cake, a Wonder Pets cake, a Dinosaur cake and this year the theme was Pirate Mickey!
