St. Patrick's Day isn't normally something that we celebrate around our house. However, this year, Connor came down with strep throat on the day that his class planned to make Leprechaun traps. When he learned that he would miss the activity, his chin began to quiver and the tears started rolling. Sooo....I told him that we would make one at home. And we did!
This isn't your ordinary cake. There are 2 bundt cakes underneath all that icing. You see, the Leprechaun will climb the pretzel ladder thinking that he has found a pot of gold on the other side. When he crosses the "field" of grass, he will plummet into the middle of the cake. Connor was concerned that he may outsmart us and walk the edges of the cake, so we came up with plan B. If he doesn't fall into the first pit, he will surely fall into the second pit where the pot of gold awaits him.
We brought this into his class room once he was feeling better and everyone loved it. Of course, we had to taste test the cake, so we will never know if it worked or not!
