Parshat Ki Teitzei: Bird’s Nest Cake with Truffle Eggs

This parsha cake is inspired by this Bird’s Nest Cake from Better Homes and Gardens and this Martha Stewart cake with a truffle egg nest. To make the cake, make brownies or chocolate cake in a bowl or round pan. Cover the cake with chocolate dipped pretzels or chow mein noodles. Put in the center truffles dipped in blue tinted chocolate or blue Jordan almonds.

I went with a very easy chocolate brownie recip that the kids mixed up themselves, but this could be a fun project if you make little nests from the chocolate pretzels or noodles by themselves and stick the Jordan almonds or jelly beans in the center. See here for what this would look like.

Parshat Tzav (and Vayikra): Cow Cookies

I know I didn’t post a parsha project last week–but I did do one, really! Last week’s parsha and this week’s are about korbanot, or the animal and meal offerings.
