Playful Picnic—Make-Believe BLT

Illustration: a girl holding a sandwich

YOU WILL NEED

  • Pound cake
  • Whipped cream or white frosting
  • 1/4 cup (60 milliliters) shredded coconut
  • Green food coloring
  • Red rolled fruit snack
  • Sliced strawberries
  • Small bowl

HERE'S HOW

  1. Ask an adult to cut the pound cake into bread-size slices.
  2. Spread a thin layer of whipped cream or white frosting ("mayonnaise") on one slice.
  3. In a small bowl, mix 5 drops of green food coloring with 1/4 cup of shredded coconut. Put the green coconut ("lettuce") on top of the slice of pound cake.
  4. Unroll a red rolled fruit snack and tear it into bacon-size pieces. Place the "bacon" on top of the "lettuce" and "mayo."
  5. Top off your sandwich with sliced strawberries for "tomatoes" and add another slice of pound cake. Enjoy!
