It was a "cup-cake" meal I told them. The main dish actually looked like dessert, and the dessert looked like mashed potatoes. The main dish was meatloaf with sweet-mashed potatoe "frosting". I told the kids they were chocolate cupcakes with orange frosting. I don't think they bought this one so much.
The mashed potatoe cupcakes were real cupcakes with white frosting and caramel sauce with a yellow squished starburst. They looked real, right? And I think my favorite part was the drink. I have made jello and put it in cups earlier so it would set.
I gave them their "juice" and it was funny to see the smaller boy put the cup to his lips and tip his head back. Then again and again. My bro and sis-in-law had joined us for dinner and she finally said, "Hey, smaller boy, put your finger in it. Then we all had a good laugh. Well anyway it was fun for us. I thought I was pretty clever. Here are some pics.
