How to Make Olive Penguins
Penguin parts.
These are probably meant for six-year olds, but they still provide me with gobs of joy. All you need is a black olive (for the penguin head), a bigger one (for the bulbous bod), a little carrot medallion (with a triangle sliced out for the beak), and a mozzarella ball (or cream cheese works). Extra credit if you can make them an edible igloo. It's pretty self-explanatory but check out mathea.tanner's adorable Flickr photos or if you really need step-by-step instructions, here you go.

Now I want to try to use this to make baby panda bears--San Diego Zoo is giving the first new peaks at their new baby panda! So cute.

Now I'm trying to think of all sorts of variations. The mozzarella and olive, fine - but I don't think the carrot would go well with the other two. Or maybe I'm just not a huge carrot fan.
I'm thinking chocolate balls, marshmallow, and a slice of candied or dried fruit, like apricot or papaya for a sweet version. Not sure what I'd replace

I'm going to put a pickled onion in place of the cheese and stick it in my martini!

Had these years ago at a "snow bowl" party. Darling, aren't they?

Even cuter with frilled toothpicks and a cheeseball shaped like an igloo.
