[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 387379, member: 1233"] On another day would she like to decorate cupcakes or make a candy treat? LOTS of magazines and websites have great ways to decorate cupcakes and cakes. Family Fun's website is awesome. I know she isn't likely to EAT the items, but she might lick fingers or let some icing melt in her mouth. Empty calories, but calories all the same. We have often done a little candy turkey for Thanksgiving/Harvest events. It is easy and NO cooking. It just uses half a graham cracker, a fudge stripe cooky, a fun size snickers or milky way candy, chocolate icing and some sprinkles or mini m&m's for eyes. I can find directions online if it is something she would enjoy making. Even if she just makes them for the employees at husband's restaurant. I just thought a FUN food project, made with no pressure to eat the food, might be interesting to try. A way to maybe start to help her see food as fun instead of such a huge problem. I know this may not be doable now, or at this point, but maybe at some point as she gets better. If not for fall, I can find projects like this for every holiday/event. If she wants to make the icing, or doesn't like something about store bought icing, I can give you EASY recipes for that. [/QUOTE]
