Craftibilities: shot glasses

Holy moly! These things are DAN-GER-OUS!

UPDATE: After 5 days they didn't soak up all the (3/4 oz) vodka but they are HUGE! I ended up pouring out the excess vodka into the big batch. The big batch doesn't soak up evenly and most were a lot smaller than the individual serving size. Conclusion - They get more drunk with just a few friends and less drunk in a big group. Got it?!

I just started making them yesterday for the Super Bowl this weekend. Recipes I've seen say 3-5 days minimum. I'm one day in and the outside is chewy but the inside is still really hard. They are super strong. I can taste the vodka but my hubby says it's his new favorite candy. :)

I'm thinking GNO, Bachelorette party, Christmas party, New Year's Eve, 21st Birthday, etc!

Gummi Bears, Vodka and a bowl or tupperware with a lid

I decided on mini shot glasses with lids. I'm thinking flu season and bringing them to a party where everyone is sticking their hands in the bowl....ummm....NO THANK YOU! This was my solution and I love it!

I promise I'm really not a germophob but I like the idea of personal serving size.

Since both teams have blue (Denver - Blue & Orange and Seattle - Blue & Green) I went with their other colors. I would like to say this was all me but it was my hubby's idea. It came about when I was ranting the gummi bears didn't come in blue. He saved the day or at least got me to be quiet.

I put four in each container. Now it's only day one and they are strong. I figured if people wanted more they could get a second or third one. And if they are a light weight like me, they will be drunk by cup three. YIKES!

I decided to measure out 3/4 oz to put in each cup.

Getting the gummies drunk :) Get it? Mini vodka bottles. ((I know, way too much time with these gummy bears))

At first it looks like a lot of vodka but again, day one and they are soaking it up pretty good.

Place in the fridge and wait.

I made these team tags to go on the top

And I think I'll print these smaller tags to go on the side of the cups

And the leftover gummy bears?

We made a batch for us! For taste testing or scientific research of course.

I put them in a large bowl and covered the gummy bears with vodka.

If you are going to make these for this weekend START NOW!!! They need 3-5 days to absorb all the Vodka.

Have fun & enjoy!!!

I made these Friday for a teacher luncheon but they would be perfect for Thanksgiving. Super cute, right!? Plus I'm pretty sure that when a dessert is this small calories won't count. Well, that's what I tell myself. :)

Layered spice cake, cream cheese icing and topped with whip cream....yum {{drool}} :)

I used plastic shot glasses and these cute little spoons I found at the grocery store.

First I made a spice cake or pumpkin bread would be good too.

I used one of the shot glasses to punch out circles from the cake

If you have trouble getting it out use a knife along the edge to pull it out

I then cut the cake pieces into threes (top, middle and bottom)

I have a few decorating tips but I decided to use the filling tip since it was longer. It's normally used to put filling into a cupcake.

I used a ziplock bag with the corner cut off, add my tip and I'm ready to go. I placed the bottom piece of cake in first, then added a layer of icing.
