EASY!! Cactus and Sunshine Pancake Art Tutorial

With winter going strong and the days often being dark outside, I've been craving a little sunshine lately...how about you?

I thought it would be fun to spread some sunshine to my kids and make them these cute cactus and sunshine pancakes for an after school snack! 

I've put together a tutorial so that you can make them also!

For a full list of the pancake mix/products I use, check out this page HERE.

Today you'll need four colors: 

orange, yellow, green and light green

You'll also need: 

Miniature chocolate chips 

Oil and set your griddle to 200 degrees.

Draw a small cactus with your green batter.

Taking your light green batter, trace around your cactus.

Flip the cactus when it looses its shine and is bubbly.

Draw lots of tiny orange dots and let them cook completely.

(these will be cactus flower petals)

You will also need to make several extra dots for noses on the sunshine pancake.

Draw a yellow dot 

(this will be the center of the cactus flower)

Place the cooked orange dots into the wet yellow batter to form a flower. Let the yellow dot fully cook.

To create the sun:

1. draw a medium sized circle with yellow

2. trace around the circle with orange batter

3. place yellow dots around the circle

4: Let it get bubbly before flipping the pancake

Add miniature chocolate chips for eyes on the sunshine and use any extra orange dots for little noses.

Since I made my kids these pancakes as a snack for later, I wrapped them up in plastic wrap and put them in the fridge. 

Have a Sunny Day!

Pancake Art Valentine's Day

I recently saw a statistic that showed that people who read their Bible 4 times a week or more were less likely to do things that were morally wrong in God's eyes.

In this survey, those who read their Bible 1-3 times a week didn't see a moral impact on how they lived their lives. Pretty crazy right?!

If you haven't seen my latest video, head on over to my YouTube channel to learn how to make a Valentine's Day pancake!

In this video, I talk about the importance of hiding God's word in our hearts.

Super Cute!! Pancake Art Cowgirl Tutorial!

I thought it would be fun to share with you the pony pancake art tutorial I created when I threw a cowgirl party for my daughter.

 Pony Pancake Tutorial

Mix up Pancake batter. The recipe is HERE. Divide your batter into the three colors: white (no color), light pink and hot pink (customizable). You will also need washed Popsicle sticks and chocolate chips to make the ponies. Use an electric griddle at 200 degrees that's been lightly greased with vegetable oil.

Using the white batter, draw a horse outline.

Draw the horse bridle with the hot pink batter.

Still using the hot pink batter, draw dots for the mane.

Take the light pink batter and draw dots for the mane in between the hot pink dots.

Draw the horse reins with the hot pink batter. 

Fill in the horse with the white batter.

Flip your pancake when it starts to loose its shine and is bubbly.

 Squirt some white batter and place a Popsicle stick on it.

Squeeze some pancake batter on top of the Popsicle stick.

Place the horse on top of the stick and let it cook to the stick. Sometimes I increase my temperature to 250 degrees to speed this process up.

Add chocolate chips for eyes and the horse reins.

Psalm 59:9 NIV

I watch for you; you, 

O God, are my fortress,

my loving God.

 Using the red batter, create the top of the Santa hat.

Time to make the beard with the white batter.

Draw a mustache next to the Santa (off to the side).

Create a white ball for the top of the Santa hat and make a red nose.

Fill in the rim of the hat with green batter.

Fill in the hat with the red batter.

Pancake Art Lunchable

New Video up! How to make a Cornucopia pancake lunchable for Thanksgiving. Click HERE to watch it!

In this video, I talk about how when we give to others, God blesses us back with a cornucopia of blessings. 

Luke 6:3

Give, and it shall be given unto you; 

good measure, pressed down, 

and shaken together, and running over

The lunchbox contains

• A peanut butter pancake sandwich (I made 2 for my kids)
• Pumpkin dip with apples (recipe below)
•  Bugles (that look like cornucopias)
• candy corn for an extra treat

 This recipe makes a lot and it tastes quite a bit like pumpkin pie. It's a fun way to get kids to eat both pumpkin and apples!

Blessings,
Jenni

Pancake Art Mocha Frappe'

Hi Friends! Be sure to check out my new pancake art tutorial video HERE!

In this video, I'll share several areas that we need to watch out so that we don't hinder the growth of our faith in Christ.

Have you ever tried sprinkling pumpkin pie spice on whip cream? I did that for this tutorial and it was soooo yummy!

The leaves used in the above photo were from my back yard. It's getting prettier every day!

 The Mums from Walmart this year were pretty cheap (around $6) and so far they've lasted several weeks. I've been pleasantly surprised! 

Our local park is really, really pretty this time of the year! Here's several photos that I took on my latest walk!

 I love this verse! It's been on my white board all month! 

Our wild cat was so tired that he slept through the rain and got all wet. So funny! 

Warm sweaters, pretty colors everywhere, hot coffee...so much to love this time of year!

Happy Fall!
