Cute Food Alert! Starbucks Penguin Cookies

YumSugar — Tue, 11 Dec 2007 01:18:39 -0800

A few days ago I headed to Starbucks for some of their red cup action and noticed that they also had a wide array of holiday goodies. Usually there are frosted snowmen and cranberry bliss bars and a bunch of things in between. However, this year their new adorable feature is an iced penguin cookie. The cookie is a sugar cookie base with a mountain of icing on it including a little iced scarf tied around its neck. I think they're just adorable, however, their price is close to $2, so it's a little splurge for a few minutes of cute eats.

Have you guys seen these in your Starbucks? If so, have you tried them? What'd you think?

Are Pull-Apart Cakes Really Cupcakes?

I was walking through Target the other day when I noticed these holiday silicone cake molds. At first I didn't think much about them, after all, shaped cake molds are all the rage these days. However, on second glance, I noticed that they're actually called Pull-Apart Cupcake molds ($14.99). They've got a few different shapes out there - turtle, butterfly, alligator - and have recently come up with a few more additions for the holidays. The wreath and flower basket ideas are a lot of fun, but I think the penguin and snowman might be a little difficult to frost. Either way they'd be fun for a party or a potluck, but are they really cupcakes?

Today is Saint Vincent's Day. I know you are thinking, has PartySugar gone all religious on us? Or what does that have to do with anything? Well the answers to these questions are (1) no, I have not gone all religious, although I do celebrate my Saint's Day (a custom I picked up in Spain where everyone celebrates their Saint's Day - you know me I love any reason to throw a party!) and (2) St. Vincent is the patron saint of wine and wine growers. St. Vincent is who the vintners pay their respects to for a successful harvest, superb growing season, and flourishing wine fermentation. Even though I don't have a winery (although it's one of my fantasies to marry a super hot young vintner), I'll open a bottle of wine and give a cheer to St. Vincent. Right now I'm really into red wines (it's so cold out, I don't feel like drinking anything chilled) and suggest trying a bottle of The Little Penguin Cabernet Sauvignon South Eastern Australia 2005. You can buy this wine for only $8. That's so cheap, you might as well purchase two bottles. Chin Chin! (Thats the sound of your glasses clinking as you toast!)
