What to serve at your Lion's Party

Save a Lion's share of time on the dessert. Planning a Lion Party can take a
Lion's share of time. So make things easy on yourself, cupcake!

Lion cupcakes are made easy when you cut red licorice vines into a
mane, and accent with M&M eyes and Cheerios for ears. The idea was
inspired by "Hello Cupcake!"

The recipe of fun for another lion c upcake comes from New Zealand. The
clever cupcake, is made from corn flakes cereal for the mane, large
chocolate chips for the eyes, smaller chocolate chips with black licorice for
the whiskers accent and a Maraschino cherry nose.

Another easy lion cake solution is to use the Lion Cake Kit, pictured left.
This two tiered lion cake topper includes the lion face, feet and tail. It's
an easy decoration for a round birthday cake.

Lion Cookies. Try the Lion Paw P rint Cookies from Disney Family Food, left.

Lion Chocolate bars. Americans may not be aware of the wildly popular chocolate
from Nestle, available, right on Amazon. Nestle Lion chocolate bars would make
a cute lion theme party favor. They're caramel filled wafers covered in milk
chocolate. This crispy and creamy confection is imported from Ireland.

Have the lazy little lions lick some lollipops. You can get suckered into spending
