Parsha Desserts
I have tried for about a year, to somehow incorporate part of the parsha (Torah portion), or chag (holiday) - depending on what's going on - into our shabbat desserts. It's supposed to spark discussion around the table about "higher things" than what might normally be going around the table ;)
I love checking through the internet for ideas, so I thought that it's only fair that I put out mine, in case others might be interested. I have quite a bunch so I'll keep adding them as I find them in my huge number of family photos from the past few years....

I know....it's likely not really apples that Adam and Chava ate from the tree....but I had cake pop balls in the freezer and was feeling tired and pregnant (thanks again, Chava!), so apples it was. There are adorable apple cake pops on google images that turned out way better than mine, but basically I added the pretzel piece as a cute/easy way to make the stem and a little green marshmallow fondant to make the leaf.

| Apple-shaped cookies on sticks...didn't have an apple shaped cookie cutter, but a little triangle removed from the side, ends rounded out and then used that triangle for the stem. Colored icing sugar/water mixture iced it after baking. |

| I used a cup to make the circular cookie and then cut it in half with a knife and squished in the centre circle. I pulled out all of my pareve icings for the colours |
