Fondant Banana Tutorials

Banana & Tomatoes are the topic of discussion in Zion's school for this quarter. There was a home project for parents & kids to do along. We had to familiarise the kids about these fruits & do a project with the use of these fruits or any thing creative.  It was the last day & we had to submit the project to the school. Since I had guest at home, I had totally forgotten about this. Upon checking the date suddenly realised that this was pending.  Since I love working with fondant, thought why not make these fruits out of fondant. I had some left over fondant from previous cakes in the fridge, so thought will utilise it for this project. My friend was around while I was making these & she was totally shocked to see me do it fast. She is the one your video graphed this:) Thx Annu for supporting me in this video.

Zion was very excited seeing me do this for him. He actually wanted to eat them:) He was saying mamma..Banana banana.. give give...:)  He some how manged to damage the tomatoes & thankfully it reached the school in good shape. I have taken a video tutorial on how to make Banana's. Hope you will enjoy this video tutorials.

 

Blondies

Blondie's are cousins of Brownie & cookies. They are such a wonderful treat & absolutely tasty. I used Peanut Butter chips in my recipe. Well you can also add chocolate chips & nuts if you want. This is a wonderful snack for your kids. Its definitely rich as there is a lot of butter going in there. My lill Zion loved this sweet & I was so happy to see his snack box empty:).

I have been in the process of making video recipes, due to time & also support constraints this has been pending in a long while. Well where there is a will there is a way right? I am going to dedicate some time for this & you will see more of my video recipe soon. I must thank my Maid Mary for video graphing & always being there. Thankfully Zion was sleeping & we could shoot most of it without any disturbance. However you will hear him in the last part of the video:) I am waiting fir feedback from my readers & I hope you will love my video recipe.
